This elann pattern will be retired at the end of February 2021 - No pattern support will be available going forward.

This flattering, trapezoidal tank is constructed in one piece, without any seams. It’s narrow at the shoulders, form-fitting at the breasts, loosely flowing over the hips, and delightfully asymmetrical at the hem.

It can be worn alone or as a fabulous ensemble, topped with an oversized broad cardigan -- pattern for both tank and cardigan are included in the same pattern. Matching oversized cardigan (finished body width 183, 203, 224 cm/ 72, 80, 88”) is also in for sizes S, M, and L, proportional to tank sizes (to fit bust sizes 81, 91, 102 cm/ 32, 36, 40”).
