This ruffled strap tank is sexy and sweet at the same time. The tank is crocheted in an all-over lace stitch, which has a beautifully intricate look. The shaped neckline and slim straps with ruffled trim make for a very flattering top. The drawstring tie accentuating the color change adds a nice finishing touch. Perfect with jeans for a casual, yet sexy look or with a cream-colored suit for an elegant, sophisticated look.
