This is a simple a-line tank, with a small side detail and beautifully faded colorplay. This uses three different colors, but you can use whatever you like! This is great with jeans, shorts, or skirts. The long-line silhouette is designed to move with the breeze. There is a little bit of math involved to customize it perfectly, but you can always just work to measurements.
