very interesting to see the transition between the physical sketch to the digital one. It tells a story. I also love the background you chose. What material were you considering for the criss-crosses? I'm trying to imagine what would be most comfortable. Also I wouldn't was to war this in the sun 🤣🤦‍♀️ defos and evening dress. Otherwise I'd burn like a Simba chip 😂❤️

Thank you! Best idea would be something like a slightly stretchy charmeuse. (Though I have very little experience with the actual sewing part of things 😅)
That would definitely not be the kind of tan you would want! I pretty much have vampire skin so EVERYTHING has to be either inside or evening wear. 🫣
