Problems of a shopkeeper

So we have to make a decision. An example of one of the many decisions we have to make every day.

We have this rich vibrant fabric that we have to decide how to cut. There is a print on the bottom of the fabric. We call it the ovary fabric for obvious reason. The decision is how to cut it. If we use the first method we get more dresses but it is very much a "dressy" dress. It is more for an event then everyday. The other way utilizes the print on the top of the dress. Makes it more of an "everyday" dress.

So which one would you do ladies?

I like them both. It is hard to choose.

I would do the one with the black top, but it needs to have a pop of color at the neck to balance out the color on the bottom of the dress. A really chunky colorful necklace, that picks up the brightness on the skirt, would work. A colorful lacy shawl in one color would work too. Probably in the green to tone down the hot pink and create more balance.

Also. For the black topped dress, I might like a thin stripe of color, maybe piping, going horizontally at the seam to separate the top from the bottom.

I like them both as well, but the one on the right looks more unique to me.

Great design!
