Racerback Ruffle-front Tank

If you’re not wearing a breezy dress on a scorching hot day, then opt for an airy top like this one instead. It’s not as clingy as it looks and the ruffle lies flat against the chest. Super soft and available in three solid colours. Nice length too, so long-waisted gals be sure to take a look.

This is a winner for me!

It’s one of the few v-necks I’ve found that hits just at the right spot, so I can wear it without a cami, which is so rare I can’t even tell you. I’m too self-conscious to wear sleeveless tops, so I’ll wear it under a jacket, but it’s light enough that it’ll be great in summer, and the ruffle adds a nice bit of interest. I love the length, too. I often find that tops are a smidge short on me (I think I must have a long waist?) I got the gray color, which I love. The racerback is not too extreme, but still not quite the full bra strap coverage of a regular sleeveless top.

Thanks, Angie! You’ve done it again!

Yes, Angie has done it again! I ordered this top in several sizes and colors, and the first one I put on (hematite in size S) fit like a dream. The armholes didn’t gape and were high enough to cover my bra. The top tapers nicely around the waist, yet did not cling to my midsection — a definite bonus! The ruffle is a nice detail, and not too floofy. The fabric is nice — I was expecting a solid gray, but it’s actually textured (marled?).

Like Tarzy mentions, the racerback isn’t like what I normally think of racerback; it’s cut in just a little more than a regular sleeveless top, so you would need to wear a racerback-type bra.

The top runs on the large side.

This is a great top. I ordered one and liked it so much I went back and ordered a few more. The material is very soft. The ruffles lie very flat and are more for textural interest than for a 3D ruffle effect. The material does not cling. The armholes fit fine.

The back is not so severe that you see large portions of it but as reviewers above mentioned, you do need to use a bra strap hook or racerback bra to hide your bra straps.

I bought this top after seeing another YLFer post a picture of herself in hers. The size medium is a perfect fit, not too deep in the armholes to show bra and not too low in the front. The fabric slides nicely over the “fluffy” bits of flesh around my middle but still manages to look sleek. I bought it in blue and 2 colors of the print.
