Tanks: layering, opacity and fit
A base layer that is meant to be seen
Most tanks here are drafted as the visible layer under something open: a mesh shirt, an unbuttoned jacket, a harness. That changes the cut. Straps are wider or deliberately multiple, the neckline is placed to show under a collar, and lace or strapping runs across the chest where a harness would otherwise sit.
| Type | Opacity | Worn under | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jersey tank | Opaque | Anything | Cotton stretch |
| Mesh tank | Sheer | Bra or bodysuit | Stretch mesh |
| Lace camisole | Part sheer | Open shirt | Lace, satin |
| Strap top | Opaque, cut out | Jacket, harness | Jersey, PU |
Sizing
Stretch jersey forgives a size. Lace and PU do not. Order from the bust measurement in centimetres, and remember Asian sizing runs roughly one size below EU and US.
