That always makes me feel better about consigning something to the chopping block, if I've made a reasonable attempt to fix it but it didn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260991 Sun, 25 May 2014 21:54:54 +0000 Mo 1260991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I only gave it an overnight stretch, but it bugs me, no doubt. Tried it again today. &nbsp;Off it goes. &nbsp;Plenty of other tanks in my closet :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260845 Sun, 25 May 2014 16:12:47 +0000 rabbit 1260845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can make it comfortable with minimal effort, I say give it a try - the color and pattern is nice on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260797 Sun, 25 May 2014 14:14:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1260797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Says you already own it and you say you don't have many prints I think keeping it for layering is a good idea..</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260789 Sun, 25 May 2014 13:21:07 +0000 Janet 1260789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I have an item like that, that has a bothersome detail, I've learned to just let it go, and keep an eye out for something new in that color/pattern or general style, but without the annoying elastic/ruffle/itchy seam, etc. That is, if it doesn't create a gaping hole in the wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260773 Sun, 25 May 2014 12:22:49 +0000 Karie 1260773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's the elastic at the top that's bothering you, you could always undo that seam and replace it with a sightly longer piece of elastic. EIther that or keep it around one more season&nbsp;for layering, and if you don't wear it, out it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260768 Sun, 25 May 2014 12:02:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1260768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does have a lot of qualities that serve well in the Florida heat.&nbsp; I'd keep it through the end of the season, I think, and evaluate again in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260653 Sun, 25 May 2014 04:11:37 +0000 Gigi 1260653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of like the top. :^) I like it best in 3, next best in 1. I agree that the full tuck in 2 is a little too much blousing.</p> <p>But I will say that if you really don't like it, it's best to get rid of it. Even if you don't need the space, it's pointless for you to see that in your closet every day if you're not going to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260366 Sat, 24 May 2014 22:37:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 1260366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What cc said. It looks terrific in the photo BUT if it feels bad &amp; you don't need it let it go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260330 Sat, 24 May 2014 22:08:14 +0000 Mo 1260330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to try and stretch the elastic around the top for now. &nbsp;Space isn't an issue as far as purging, but if I don't like it enough to&nbsp;wear it out and about, it's not comfy enough for at home wear. &nbsp;Operation stretch under way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260322 Sat, 24 May 2014 21:57:52 +0000 Anonymous 1260322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things that drive me nuts often have the audacity to look really good in photos. Cute top, and it looks fine to me.&nbsp;That said, I'd get rid of it if you don't have an actual need for it, and wouldn't miss it. Life is too short to wear tops that are badly cut.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260313 Sat, 24 May 2014 21:39:51 +0000 Anonymous 1260313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print and don't really notice the&nbsp;fit issues. I especially like the easy vibe in #3. I'd say keep it for layering and for something cool to throw on unless the fit will really bug you every time you put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260298 Sat, 24 May 2014 21:26:37 +0000 Marley 1260298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have 2 tops like that - that I only wear as layering pieces. &nbsp;I have plans to replace them eventually, but in the meantime I've held onto them for the same reason that you're thinking about - I have very few prints in my wardrobe and those 2 tops add some variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260292 Sat, 24 May 2014 21:24:21 +0000 Elizabeth P 1260292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, hate to say it, but I really like how it looks in both #1 and #3.&nbsp; I think the blousing in #2 isn't the most flattering on you.&nbsp; So I say at least keep it for the summer.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-ikat-tank---kp#post-1260288 Sat, 24 May 2014 21:19:01 +0000 Mo 1260288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wearing this around the house this afternoon. &nbsp;I love that it's woven cotton, but I hate the fit above the bust. (I ordered it online after spying it on J Everyday 2 years ago).&nbsp;It's just too gathered and then blouses out disproportionately. &nbsp;Should I hang on to it through this summer at least as a cool alternative in the heat or just ditch it now since the fit is bothersome?<br />Here are the times I've worn it in the last year. Seeing the pics reminded me&nbsp;I liked the first outfit and that now makes me wonder if keeping it as a layering piece might be a good idea. &nbsp;I don't have a lot of prints in my wardrobe. &nbsp; </p>
