Steamies, I could use some help. Im putting together an Asian-esque skypirate outfit in the hopes of looking cool @ Megacon this year, and theres a thing I WANTWANTWANTMUSTHAVE. It looks like these:

The Etsy seller responsible for these is charging 200+ bucks a pop, and that’s not doable for me. It looks simple enough, and I’ve tried to mock up a pattern and sew it myself but its beyond my tragic sewing skills and I just made a mess. I tried doing a search online for “sleeveless tunic” but that gets me pretty much every sleeveless shirt on the web. Arrgh.
Have any of you seen anything like this in your travels about the web fasionverse, or a pattern for sewing something like this? And what the heck would I even call it, anyway (besides “sleeveless tunic”?)
Thanks for any advice that comes my way!
