Inspiration...Woven Tank

Summer is coming and I continue to think of things to keep cool.  A woven tank would be fit right in.  Here's this tank:

This is the Theory Bringham Silk Dot-Print Tank.  This tank is nicely fitted in upper bodice and flowing in the body.  Price tag:  $225.00.  You can find it on the Neiman Marcus site.

To me this looks more like a sleeveless top than a tank. If you look at the Neiman Marcus site you will see that the back isn't very scooped which is traditional on a woven tank.  It just needs a neck opening large enough to get your head through.

My first thought for the tank is a sleeveless version of the Scout Tee:

You may have to raise the armhole on this to use this particular pattern.

This is the 4-Way Tank Top pattern by Silhouette Patterns.  This pattern is more of a traditional tank top.  Plus here is the darting.

For those who may be interested in developing their own tank top pattern, check out these articles on "How to Make a Tank Top Pattern, Part 1" and "How to Make a Tank Top Pattern, Part 2".

Hope your inspired to make your own tank top.  Once it is fitted you can make it a tunic length or dress length.

Happy Stitching!
