Amy Butler's Sun Surf Halter

So, I finally got around to making my Amy Butler Sun Surf Halter and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The pattern was really straightforward. I wasn't keen on the keyhole opening detail on the front, so decided to leave this out. I ended up taking out the lining too, as I found it bunched up too much around the neckline. The fabric used was Petite Nosegays from the Sweet Shoppe collection by Benartex. All in all I think it makes a great summer top and the back isn't too low either. This is definitely one pattern I will be using again. In fact number 2 is already cut and waiting to be sewn...
