Some of the most practical plus size blouses made of silk seem to be those designed as tunics or as big sized T-shirts – only smarter because of the silk material. One tunic top design that caught my eye was called a kurta, fashioned on ethnic designs from the East, particularly Pakistan and India. Even though some manufacturers produce what they call tunic tops with buttoned fronts, the kurtas I found were more like traditional tunics which don’t have any buttons at all. They also feature some lovely embroidery and bead work that gives them an appeal of their own. Some also had sequins sewn on them, but these are really only suitable for evening wear.
