The Sandpiper Tank is a woven sleeveless top with two neckline and styleline variations that allow you to play with mixing prints, colors, and textures. You can also omit the styleline to create a solid version in one fabric, or play with contrast binding on the neckline and armholes.
The silhouette is loose and airy, and the front and back of this style are symmetrical.
This style features:
-
Flattering curved hemline sits above the full hip.
-
Generous side seam allowance for future size adjustments.
-
High neckline for minimal cleavage/chest exposure.
-
Symmetrical front and back for a potentially "reversible" garment.
-
Specially developed "petite plus grading" ensures a consistent silhouette across the full size range.
*This is a product is a digital PDF sewing pattern.
