Comfy & Versatile Tanks

By Eclectic Jeanne from Miami, FL on 6/23/2011

 

4out of 5

Sizing: Feels true to size

Pros: Soft, Quality Materials, Washes Well, Versatile

Cons: Itchy tags

Best Uses: Date Night, Casual Wear, Work

Describe Yourself: Practical, Stylish

Was this a gift?: No

So far these tank tops seem to wear very well and wash up great. I am air drying these as I do with most of my newer clothes since I don’t want to take any chances that they may shrink.

My only issue with these tank tops is the tags are horribly itchy and I have had to remove the tags. Once I did that the tank tops were very comfy.
