Oliver + S Ruffle Halter

I made this top using the free pattern from Oliver + S. It came together really quickly and looks fantastic. The designer is right -- the sewing method is very elegant. I can see myself making these in every colour (and pattern!) for the girls for summer. And maybe even lengthening it to make it a dress. 
I used a lightweight shirting in a pale yellow ordered from fabric.com.  I love how cutting the ruffles on the bias shows off the subtle grain of the fabric.  The back is slightly see-through but I don't think that matters, and the layers on the front provide enough coverage.
