Sienna Tank
The Sienna Tank is one of those everyday garments that you can easily throw on and be comfy in, yet still stylish enough to embellish any outfit with a sophisticated and simple flair. The I-cord edgings at the arm openings, hem and cowl neck add a touch of sophistication, while the A-line shaping makes it incredibly flattering. Worked top-down, it is a highly adjustable pattern for a perfect fit.
