Worked in a luxurious silk blend, this tank is perfect to wear all summer long. The front begins with a narrow strip from which stitches are picked up and worked to create an asymmetrical ruched look while the back is worked from the bottom up. Grosgrain ribbon straps keep the top securely in place.
