~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Starleaf is a sleeveless A-line tank with just enough swing to cause a sensation! With its boatneck and a lace motif reminiscent of tiny, sparkling stars, this tank is the perfect summer top to wear over a cami or swimsuit during the day or under a linen jacket at night.

The lace pattern is both written and charted.
