bad tank

This tank is just wrong in so many ways, I don't know where to begin! Let's start with the top - the arm hole is cut in such a way that no matter what style of bra you're wearing, it's going to show. And of course, the top has no support, go going sans bra isn't an option. Also, the cut in makes my arms look much wider because of how much skin they are showing. If it was a halter, it would give the indication of longer arms, because the eye is drawn up towards the face. Here, the eye is drawn in and then out again, giving the impression of short, stubby arms.

The scoop neckline is a good idea, but because that fabric was only used at the neck, it creates a disjointed feeling. It would have been better to use the black that is at the bottom of the shirt.

The fabric pattern is horrendous. It does have some vertical movement, which is good, but the wide motifs cause my entire torso to look boxy. No definition at the bust or at the waist, which is where we want it. And whatever it is that's happening at the belly gives the look of bulging.

The bottom does make my legs look skinnier, but at the expense of making my hips seem larger. A thinner trim would not have cut me in half the way this does.
