All right, so this lovely thing happened.

Brilliant! Lovely tunic, lovely drawing, lovely offer. And FWIW, I'd never heard of the brand but will look out for them now I know they make nice things and do awesome customer service.

Exactly! With my social media hat on (scary image), I must say they know what they're doing. I love their clothes, and a large proportion of my readers are women of a similar age/tastes, so I hope they will too.

I hate to say I told you so.

However.

TUNIC!

You did tell me so, it is true. I still think I like the dress better, and have, as you also suggested, set up an eBay alert. So maybe one day I'll know for sure which I prefer.

I would wear that tunic. Most tunics have too much stuff going on. I want the busy-ness in the pattern. Now I am envious of your tunic.

The tunic is still available, or was last time I looked. It could be yours!

I am having a think on it. I need to look at my wardrobe and see what I can thoughtfully pair with it to make it genuinely work. It is nearly time for the yearly cull/look through of what can go elsewhere, what needs to be tossed, and so on. I am trying very hard to find good quality pieces that can work with A LOT of things. And is kind of reasonable with how I live now.

Of course my fancy dresses always stay. Because now and then I go and venture into civilization and want to live it up a little.

It looks nicer in your drawing than on the model - they should either get you to illustrate their catalogues, or design their fabrics.

Cor, that'd be a nice job. I will say one thing for Gudrun Sjoden though - they are the only company I know who consistently use older women as models. Beautiful older women, sure, but it is really refreshing.

Now if only they weren't also all super-skinny, I guess.
