We have had the most amazing summer in Seattle. The temperature has been in the 80's and 90's most every day! I saw a cute tank in a local store that was perfect for this fab summer weather. Fitted through the bust so it is flattering, but loose and swingy so it is comfortable too - just perfect for hot summer days.
The style was a bit too junior for me - bra revealing low back and a Stevie Nicks handkerchief hem - so I decided to put my pattern drafting skills to work and created a pattern.
The tank I drafted has a scoop back detail and adjustable straps. The adjustable straps are such a nice detail and surprisingly easy to add. The version pictured above is an older Free Spirit print in rayon challis. It has a beautiful drape and is super soft and comfy! You can find the fabric Here.
The fabric I used for this tank is a Joel Dewberry rayon challis.
I purchased yardage to make a dress version in this Anna Maria Horner rayon challis print which I adore!
You can find the Anna Maria Horner fabric here.
The tank will also be a fun style to layer with a cardigan and wear with skinny jeans and boots this Fall.
I can see the dress with a knee length wool sweater, tights and boots : )
