Cold Shoulder Pattern - modified

In the spring Whigs & Tories tried out a cold shoulder pattern designed by Striped Swallow Designs. that post: http://whigsandtories.blogspot.com/2016/04/trying-out-cold-shoulder-pattern.html
Over the summer the owner decided to try to modify the pattern to allow for a "school legal" variation. {School code in Williamsburg does not allow for strappy tops, however there is a two finger rule. If the strap is the width of two fingers then the top passes code. Here at Whigs & Tories we aren't quite sure what the shoulder rule is, but we are willing to guess that is something to address school by school.}
This pink dress is the result of that modification, made for the owner's daughter "M." M has worn the dress throughout the summer and declared it comfy, and cute, and easy to wear. It is one of her new favorites.  It works particularly well over ballet leotards and has been noticed by one or two of the dancers. Keep an eye out for this variation in the shop in about two weeks.
