Can’t wait to see in-progress pics I love the halter on View A, but View B is something I would wear into Fall’s cooler temperatures! Just read your sewing tips and I think I should print them out! Very good tips. I agree with the no-sewing-when-sleepy rule. I’ve messed up so many simple steps when I was tired and trying to finish a project! >_<
I agree, View B is more versatile. Despite that it’s still really hot and humid here, I picked View B because I thought it would get more wear than halter top dresses.
