Sol for the summer solstice

SOL is a tank for the summer solstice, designed to celebrate the healing power of creativity and the warmth of the sun on your body. With simple bottom-up construction, this tank features an original asymmetric lace panel inspired by chestnut blossoms. The pattern includes 9 sizes, instructions for cropped or full-length, details for modifying the width of the straps, and both written and charted instructions for the lace panels.
