Easy to sew and a good fit

So easy to sew. Made it a size bigger, because I like it a bit looser and it turned out just the way I like it. Also added a "boob bubble" for an FBA. It is a lovely fit and I can make it in any color and nice soft jersey that I like.

What everybody else says

Perfect staple indeed. I make these all the time, the pattern works for a wide variety of fabrics and can be used for everything from a sleep shirt to layering piece to athletic top.

Love it! Replacing all my old RTW tanks with these! Neckline sits high enough to cover everything but also flattering. Straps are wide enough to cover your bra straps without fussing. The binding method included is so easy you don't need any fancy attachments. Bands are included as well but try the binding for that professional finish!

This tank pattern exceeds all of my expectations. The fit and length are perfect. I followed the size chart for my measurements and the fit is spot on. I need 100 of these in my wardrobe

Great instructions and pattern pieces as always! I can make my own tanks in any color! No more basic layering tanks. ??

Everything about this tank is worthy of 5 stars. I love the two finishing options (bands or binding). As someone who often avoids binding, I love the method included and had so much success with it. The fit is spot on! I'll be filling my closet with these for multiple purposes.

I love the sporty tanks from GS and this is the perfect tank to compliment the set! It is ideal for layering, or paired with jeans, shorts or skirts for sunny spring and summer days. This pattern really is what your wardrobe has been waiting for with the usual Greenstyle combination of superb, carefully tested design and an easy to work with pattern/ fab instructions. Put it in your cart now!

This tank will be a staple in your wardrobe! It's the perfect layering tank and awesome on it's own, too! The scoop neck and scoop back covers the bra straps making it so comfortable to wear. It's a quick sew and great in many fabrics, including athletic fabric.

Not only is this a quick sew, it's an amazing fit!! I love the option of bands or bindings. And the lower back neck line is amazing.

This tank is the perfect addition to my wardrobe! I love that I can wear it on it's own or as a layering tank for when it's cooler. I even wore it to my Reformer Pilates class yesterday! It has the perfect slim fit (but not too slim.....it skims where it needs to) and the straps are perfect for hiding those bra straps. I even made mine while 22 weeks pregnant and the only change I had to make for a perfect fit was adding 1.5" in length!!!!

The perfect tank!

This is exactly as the name says: a true staple, in the best way possible! Absolutely perfect for summer on its own, and so great for layering with cardigans and light jackets for the slightly cooler seasons. The sleek fit is forgiving and shapely, skimming the body and slim enough to not add bulk when wearing with something else. This will be my go to tank!

This tank has such a great fit and I love the low back. It comes with binding or bands, whichever you prefer. It is such a quick sew too. This tank top is great to wear alone or layer with a cardigan or any other top. I see many more of these in my future.

I have made 5 so far and have a few more ready to go, this is the perfect "staple" either for the hot tropical weather here, or as a layer for the cold. A quick and simple sew.

The Staple Tank is great for working out in or for wearing as a layer. I have photos and info about the one I made on my blog. https://thesewingscientist.blogspot.com/2019/03/greenstyle-creations-staple-tank.html

I'm extremely picky about what patterns I take the time to sew and use my precious fabric supply on. I expect to be able to make a pattern fit perfectly with minimal modifications, the pattern must contain good pictures and instructions, and the finished product should reflect the size chart and intended fit. This one meets all of my criteria and goes together in mere minutes with no weird parts to fix (you know what I mean!). Be sure to make your size from the size chart, and you'll love the Staple Tank as much as I do!

I LOVE the fit of the neckline! It's so flattering without being a chest show and the body skims your torso rather than clings. I've made a ton of these already and have even added the long sleeve hack from the GreenTee (just for fun) because I loved how the bodice fit so nicely!
