Hallon is a swingy dress perfect for summer! View A has a very relaxed fit and a lovely ruffled hem. The back sits low and loose, so the shape of your gorgeous back can be seen. View B has a straighter fit, with no back gathers, so it sits closer to your back. It also has side seam slits.

You can of course also mix it up and put the hem ruffle on View B, or not use the hem ruffle on View A and add side seam slits instead.

Skill level: Adventurous beginner.

Fabric suggestions: This dress looks great in light to medium-weight woven fabric, such as silk crepe or charmeuse, rayon twill or challis, tencel or modal. View A would also look cute and billowy in crisp cotton or linen. View B begs to be made in a slinky, drapey fabric.
