Halter tops are designed to keep you cool and comfortable. They are comparable to tank tops. However, halter top straps fasten behind or around the neck. I think every woman who lives in a hot climate should have at least one halter top in their wardrobe.
Below are 20 halter top sewing patterns. I have included a wide variety of styles. There are free halter top patterns and paid patterns.
