| Racer Back Tank Top Reviewed by guikhwfj agwiawug on 2008-07-10 |
 |
| This pattern needs negative ease. You give the garment measurements but not the measurements of the body the garment should fit. I made a medium, intending to go for zero ease, and ended up with a neckline that hung to the base of my ribcage.
