Polka Dot Sweetheart Neckline Tank Top

A sweetheart neckline is the detail that turns a plain tank into something you would wear out rather than under. The curve softens the line across the chest, and the polka dot print keeps the whole thing light instead of serious. Two small ideas, and together they carry the piece.

The fabric is 95% polyester with 5% elastane and it is slightly stretchy, and the measurements show exactly what that means. Bust reads 29.5 in at S with the fabric at rest, and the same size stretches to 36.6 in. At L it reads 32.7 in relaxed and 39.8 in stretched. So the tank is cut smaller than your body on purpose and closes the gap by stretching to meet you, which is what holds the sweetheart curve in place rather than letting it gape. Top length runs 18.1 in to 18.9 in, which is short. That is worth knowing before you buy: this is a cropped tank that finishes above the natural waist, not one that reaches your jeans.

Because it is short, it belongs with a high waist. High rise denim, a midi skirt or tailored trousers all work, and the strip of skin sorts the proportion out on its own. It comes in white and pastel yellow. White is the version that goes with everything already in the wardrobe. Pastel yellow is the one that reads as summer the moment you put it on. Keep jewelry short so it sits above the neckline rather than across it, and let the print be the pattern in the room.
