The Paloma is one of my favorite summer cocktails – tequila with grapefruit soda, what’s not to like? This tropical halter is great for fuller coverage, and is sure to become a classic summer staple.

The halter features a baby blue sky background, with a fun, sultry, cut-out in the center. It also uses the topstitch technique for sunny palm fronds. More supportive strap options and alternate sizing are available for this pattern.
