Bobeau Stripe Bow Front Tank

So Chanel! If you don’t like to wear sleeveless garments it’s the perfect layering top for underneath jackets and cardigans. It’s made of a drapey knit, yet piped with a woven fabric. The combination is fresh and crisp. It’s also floats away from the body keeping you cool on hot Summer days. No cling.

I ordered this top in the pink and it is adorable and everything Angie says is true. It will be perfect for hot humid days because it really doesn’t need more layers to look great. The pink is not pastel, but more of a rose. I usually don’t like pink with black, but this looks fresh.
On the fit, I got an XS. If it came in Petite, it would be perfect. I will have the straps raised a bit because it’s a little lower than I’d like in front, probably fine for most. The arm holes give good coverage, not gaping and big at all. The soft drape of the fabric skims over midriff flabby bits. The length on me is like shown on the model. I’m looking forward to wearing this top.

I tried on this blouse last week and it is really cute. It would be perfect for hot summer days, or layered under a suit for work.
The only reason I didn’t buy it is because the actual shade of the bow really seemed to clash with my hair or skin tone. Perhaps I’m being too picky because DH was actually disappointed I didn’t get it. I usually wear a S in tops but it pulled a bit at the bust line, so I’d want to try a size up just to make sure of the fit.

I ordered this shortly after Angie featured it in the posting about Chanel-inspired looks. It really caught my eye and I got it in black and taupe, which is really much more of a light tan or beige. It is warmer than taupe. I love the top and agree with Sarah’s review that it is runs a little small. My usual size is M and the M is fine but not at all roomy on top, even though I’m not busty. My daughter who is an S tried on my top (size M) and it looked fine on her too. So consider what kind of fit you want if ordering online. I also agree with Joy’s comment that the arm holes don’t gape; they are cut small, so if you have larger upper arms or muscular shoulders, consider sizing up.

This top comes in a number of nice combinations including stripes and solids with colorblock trim for the bow. I really like the nice drape and soft material, there really is no cling to it. This ran true to size for me.

I bought this top in black and taupe. This tank is made of nice thin knit, so is ideal for hot summer days if worn alone. Though it looks great layered under a black jacket as well. Like the others I found it to have a nice non-clingy drape. I am bustier than the model, but the length on the model was about where it hit me as well. I bought my normal top size.

I got this in the pink and black, and I like it. I needed to go down a size, which is unusual. I am usually a M and I ended up having to get a small.

I bought this in pink and black. The fabric is very soft and drapey, which make it comfy and flattering. I’m a borderline between XL and 1X and this fit fine, so as others have said, it runs a tad large, which made me happy!

I purchased the other color variation of this top: solid color with a dotted trim & bow. I love the ultra-soft material of the top, and the drape is just perfect – not remotely clingy, and accomodating to curvy/very busty frames. I look forward to using this as a layering piece now until it is warm enough for un-layered casual wear during the summer.

Also – I would second the recommendation to size down.

I love the Chanel inspired vibe of this top, and the fact that the straps are wide enough and the fabric substantial enough that I can wear it without a cardigan or blazer although I bought it primarily as a layering piece. The M fit me perfectly, except I had the straps taken up a little bit. Going down a size wouldn’t have worked for me.
