AyurvastramAV Hand Block Printed V Neck Tunic

June 11, 2017, UPDATE. I now have four of these. and have found the 1x a better fit for my 47" bust, though the 2xs are comfy. Colors are good and arm width consistent in the black with red, (original order), indigo, off white/coral, and ochre on yellow. The all cotton is good even on very warm days, when I thought it would be hotter than it seems to be. It does look like they are gradually replacing this with one in rayon/viscose, that also looks very different. I have found these great for Spring weather, with all types of pants. They are tunic length, but for me that's good in a casual top. All four colors wash well, and don't need ironing. I hang the 1xs to dry, because I don't want shrinkage, but I put the 2xs in the dryer with no problem--and again, no iron has touched them. (Or me, which is the whole point.) Debating buying yet another before they stop offering them.March 1, 2017: I ordered a second one of these because I was getting more wear than I thought I was out of the first. This time I ordered a 1x in the blue; it's definitely a tighter fit around the bust--but, I'm busty--and I debating sending it back, but decided against it. The closer fit is flattering, since the sides come in some--it feels a tad tight but doesn't look it. No 'back fat' showing around bra. I washed in cold, hung to dry, no shrinkage, no ironing. I'm now debating a third, but I can't decide whether I want it to be more flattering or to fit more loosely. I actually think it's flattering in both sizes. Still a winner in my book.I'm pleased with this top. When I first opened the package and saw the fabric, I inwardly groaned, thinking the it would require ironing. I was wrong. I always wash clothes before I wear them, and I ordered what I thought would be up a size ( 2X--my bust is 47") to allow for what is usually smaller sizing in this type of clothing on Amazon, and to leave room for shrinkage. I dried it on my drier's second-hottest setting. It did shrink a little, but it still fits comfortably with room to spare. The seams for the sleeves do drop a bit from my shoulders, but I'm ok with that. I purchased the black with red flowers, and it's a nice, subtle print, pretty much as pictured.

I was initially disappointed that the color was lighter and more “minty” green than teal as shown. But the quality of the sewing is good, the fit very nice and flattering and I get a lot of compliments. The fabric is light and I can wear it where I live / desert heat in comfort and still be fully covered. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars and will buy this brand again with confidence.

Like many Asian imports, the cut is a little small compared to American-made. However, I anticipated this, and ordered accordingly. My fit is between large and extra-large. I don't like my clothes too snug. I ordered the 1X and it fits perfectly. My recommendation: order 1 size up from your usual. I love the deep side-slits, and [on my 5'3 height] the length hangs well below the butt! The cotton is not of cheap quality. If I hang it to dry, as soon as the washing spin stops, I don't have to iron it. Otherwise, it's a quick-iron that comes out really nice. I haven't noticed any fading--washing in cold--but I wouldn't chance the dryer. The shirt IS 100% cotton, and it's almost a broadcloth. But it's softer and lighter weight than broadcloth. I like the quarter-length sleeves, too. They're not skin-hugging, but they're not flapping around like many of the uni-sized type tunics. I liked the gray I'd bought first so much, I had to buy another. This is a deep, dark blue with white [flowers?] and emerald green vertical lines. Yes, it's a slimming effect. The Seller ships fast; both orders arrived well before the estimated delivery.

Love the style and fit of this top. This top has zero stretch and is 100 % cotton.However when I washed it separately in cold water (in a bucket) with a dime size squeeze of shampoo the water quickly became dark and black. The white design is now not a crisp white.I washed it again after wearing it...again while washing it separately in cold water the color was bleeding from the top. I doubt this top will stay a crisp black color for long. It’ll look faded after 2-3 more washes.I have bought multiple of these:Orange one is a gorgeous color-not bleeding.Blue- nice not bleedingBlack- color bleeds ALOTRed- it’s no red more like faded red/magenta color - looks like it may bleed

These are PERFECT tunic tops. Light, cool, but hold their shape. I ordered two of these. Love the longer sleeves for us older gals. They fit loose so order your usual size. If you go up a size as I did with one, it’s quite baggy. Luckily, I tossed it In the dryer after cold washing…problem solved.

Let me start by saying I read the reviews and sized up by two sizes, making this tunic very generously proportioned. Its lightweight and elegant easily paired with white, black or navy leggings. Highly recommend!

If you are one of those who love to wear cotton print tunics. This is not the right choice. I bought it based on the product description on website but returning it. This is not cotton at all. Not even cotton blend. It is hassle to buy things and then wait for it come and when it arrives you realize it wasn't the right product. I have bought their cotton tunic before but in this case neither the picture gives right description of the product nor the information.

Nice tunic, was very pleased. Then someone noticed the 4" darkened area on my back where the printing failed. So now it's a house shirt.

Was a perfect fit and colour

Nice colours. A bit stiff at first but okay after a couple of washes. Quite a bit darker than it looks in the picture
