About
The Tied & True Tank is a sweet and flirty top that accentuates your figure. It’s knitted top-down, beginning with the upper back and then picking up each shoulder. The back and front are joined at the underarms, and the rest of the top is knitted in one piece. It comes in 9 sizes with suggestions on how you can customize the bust for a better fit. There are optional horizontal short-row bust darts and shaping for the underbust. The top is held closed with three i-cords at the bust, underbust, and waist; the underbust and waist ties allow you to cinch them for a closer fit. The body is finished with a ruffled peplum hem and i-cord edging. It can be worn alone as a flirty cropped tank, or layered as a vest.
