I recognise that my family and I reside on the Unceded Territory of the Anishinaabeg on Turtle Island and I am grateful for it.
I'm torn between 2 & 3 because of the chest build and sleeve hang. 3 is hand stitched, but it could use a better press. 1 clearly isn't built for the wearer, but the fabric drapes well. 4 sleeve hangs poorly at the elbow, I don't think it should break that way.

3, 4, 1 are my answers, respectively.

So you know, this skilled hand-work took 4 hours per cup. And, I charged $160, total

I'm knit-picking, that's not a sleeveless shirt, that's a halter or sleeveless raglan shirt (depending on the back)

It takes an effort to care. But, the hard stuff is worth it.

It's hard to be optimistic.

Reminds me of what Andrew WK said at his show at Barrymore's a lifetime ago, it went something like, "...it's so easy to just quit caring about everything, but it takes courage to care. PARTY HARD!"
