◄FEATURES

The One Shoulder Tank sewing pattern combines wide binding with our 2 most popular t-shirt silhouettes: semi-fitted & flared with hem band. 

It has been intentionally designed it to give maximum coverage across the décolletage.  

You can even add a beautiful ruffle along the neckline of your tank.  

Make this versatile tank a standout in your wardrobe. Pair it with everything from skirts and denim to tailored trousers or palazzo pants.

• Bindings must have elastane (or Lycra or Spandex) & good recovery.

SHELF BRA: In the Get Creative section of the tutorial, you'll find instructions on how to add a shelf bra.

A shelf bra is more like a crop top. It will not provide the same support that a bra is engineered to give. It's still pretty awesome though. Wear the tank/shelf bra combo braless or, my personal preference, with a strapless bra underneath the shelf bra. I find that the shelf bra helps hold that up. As an added bonus, a shelf bra can help smooth out the lines from the bra.

Most important is to ensure binding/band fabric has matched or greater resilience than both main & shelf bra fabrics. 

• Shelf bra suggestions include self fabric & swim lining.
• 2.5-4cm (1-1.5") elastic if adding shelf bra.
