[Amblin]

[Caerlaverock]

irrefutable evidence in the case of amblin v tunic

[Absy]

Linky? As I have the bestest coat in the world, and I'd like to share

[HullyEastergully]

One is LRD's Naice Coats thread, one is, So if not TUNICS...

[Absy]

where's the other spawn of the devil thread?

[HullyEastergully]

style and beauty

THERE ARE ANOTHER TWO SPAWN THREADS!

[VisualiseAHorse]

what is S&B?

[HullyEastergully]

I want the Hush ones, where can I get straight trews? I can't wear leggings.

[HullyEastergully]

Go Abs!

The other thread is still going too.

Hats (sardonic and otherwise) off to amblin.

Tunics were a firestarter.

[Absy]

In honour of this thread, I am wearing my tunic today and looking Cossacky.

I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAPPY

[chickydoo]

My DH thought the white company one looked a bit like a blanket too! that was before I tried it on though. Had lots of compliments with all 3. worn them tons of times already. will need to to get cost per wear down.

Come on, those Hush dresses are tunics. They even advise wearing them over leggings & t-shirts!

I'm 173cm: 5'8". I have garments marketed as tunics and as dresses - all the same length (86 - 89 cm.) They're dangerously short to wear without summat sturdy on the bottom half. You really wouldn't like catching flashes of my upper thighs & knickers, even in modest boyshorts.

Those Hush ones are beautiful. They don't even come in a big enough size for me :( I like the beige tabard thing, too - it's fun, and will move really well.

Hully, we have great taste

not sure what the jeff that is

I never wear tunics. But that's driven by my shape rather than some freaky fashion ideology. My body is a pretty fine hourglass shape until it reaches my pelvis, it then takes a traumatic and wobbly dive, recovering about 4" above my knees. So a tunic would skim over the best bits and emphasise the worst.

Well-shaped, above the knee woollen dresses or shortish kilt-like skirts, both with thick tights and boots, work much better for me than skinny jeans/leggings and tunics.

But anything looks good if it's right for your shape, the weather and the occasion.

I got two compliments at work today for my tunic

[Caerlaverock]

They are dresses

[Helltotheno]

I think the first two are lovely :)
There's a risk the last would make me look big... only for the really slim that one!

[HullyEastergully]

I think they are all really nice

[Caerlaverock]

Those hush numbers are dresses, the white company thing is a beige blanket

[chickydoo]

I think if worn cleverly a tunic can look amazing over jeans, yoga trousers, leggings or linen trousers in summer.
I am not fat or mumsy. I am 5'7 and a size 8. I wear lots of layers, and reckon I look fine in my tunics/mini dresses/long jumpers
I have the 3 below

garlic, I have just ordered a bright red one! I think we are like trend setters

You win, you are the queen of tunics.

I don't know if what I wear is even tunics tbh and of course I wear other things... various different high street stores.. I don't consider myself a fashionista. Very fitted on top and thru waist, going out then but not with too much material as that makes me look bigger.

The point I'm trying to make is I feel I accentuate my good points and if that involves a tunic sometimes, so be it. Who'd want to accentuate their bad points??

And the fascinating people point I was making is that there are plenty of people I know who are really interesting with great personalities and there's nothing special about the way they dress. Somebody being a 'fashionista' doesn't necessarily mean they're super interesting or have quirky characters or great personalities.. it just means they're interested in fashion and are maybe creative.... there's a difference.

So keep wearing your tunics ladies or anything else you happen to fancy for that matter :)

[garlicbaubles]

I'm now wearing my bright red one. In homage to Hully.

Thought you might like to know that ... maybe not ...

[Chandon]

...and Hully is the queen of nutters

[Chandon]

So you get admiring looks from 50% of the population whilst wearing tunics AND you know lots of fascinating people?!

You win, you are the queen of tunics.

Where do you buy your tunics?
