AyurvastramAV Hand Block Printed V Neck Tunic

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.

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.

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.

This is an authentic Indian kurta in style and fabric. I lived in India for many years and kurtas are still a staple in my wardrobe. I would not describe this as fashionable, more a cut and style worn in conservative areas or perhaps when working around the house. The fabric is created with authentic dyes which requires washing apart and using a colour catcher. Before washing this rubbed off on my undergarments but also on my sofa. It is quite flared around the hips. Although this is achieved with a nice line, if you don't need this extra room it makes it a less youthful look. The neckline is open enough to be flattering while at the same time ensuring no décolletage. I will wear this around the house but would not order again as it isn't particularly fashionable/flattering.

Really nice cloth, but little loose as per size but altered that . It’s a soothing feeling to wear this kurti

I'm so disappointed. I live in the Caribbean so it takes time to receive orders here. While the colors are exactly what I was looking for and fit etc, there are strange marks all over almost like oil stains. After looking over closer, the item seems used as there are also armpit stains. Also noticed that it smells strongly like detergent. I will be returning it sadly.

I loved it. It’s very cute, fits just right, and the fabric and print is fresh and crisp. The fabric isn’t thick but it is thick enough for good coverage and comfort. This is not a top to offer a lot of thigh coverage with leggings. It hits low in the hip, but it has side skits that go up just a little way.So if you really need to completely cover your bottom and all the upper thigh, out of sight, try a different top. But it is still modest with leggings or jeans, and it skims the body, but with kindness. It isn’t a big baggy top. It fits nicely but not tight or in any way uncomfortably.I am 5’1”, about a size large for tops and bottoms. So if you are way taller, the length and the sleeves also, might fit you a little differently. But for me, I give it a 100% for fit, comfort, and style.

Tunic is pretty, but found it tight at mid arm as back not giving room. I ordered a size larger in case it shrunk.
