Here is a pattern from Simplicity that I adapted for my girls. It is a pullover tunic with either a square or circle neckline on the front yoke. The adaptation that I made was a higher jewel neckline reinforced with a standup ribbed knit collar, plus an extension to the sleeve length.
The Simplicty 2689 pattern comes in two sizes, one for regular girls and the other for plus-size girls. It also comes with a pattern for a front tie belt, which I ignored. There are two lengths to the tunic, the shorter one goes to the hips and the longer one below the hips, like in the picture.
I also decided to adorn the yoke with lace -- colorful lace on the front, and cotton lace extension on the sleeves. I use three different lace patterns in all. After all, this is a girl's tunic or blouse which is deserving of pretty trims, don't you think?
