Customer Reviews
Did my first view B size F of the tank with a couple small mods - bit wider strap at the back to cover my bra strap and added .5” to the front as I’m busty and small backed. Very pleased- I’ll try the mid scoop back next time. Directions were good - because I’m kinda new to this reversible method I had to double check right and wrong sides a lot. But I’ll be doing it again in white for sure. Make sure u have enough stretch in your fabric.
Really like all the different options that come with the pattern. The fit for me was really good directly out of the package.
I did find the instructions somewhat disorganised and would have liked to have separate pattern pieces for the different neckline views (perhaps just the lining pieces?) For the shoulder seams I had to use my sewing machine to get neat results.
It was a super quick sew and I immediately made two more - that’s always a good sign!
Gracie Steel never misses. I’ll be making these tanks as wardrobe staples for years to come.
I’ve made two of these already, with a third on the way! Cannot recommend this enough.
I had to size up. Fabric had 60% stretch but dress was way too tight.
