Soleil

I absolutely love this tank top. It fits me really well, and the yarn is wonderful. I'm glad I have more of this yarn in another color!

I lengthened Soleil to 13.5", added in more waist shaping, decreased four extra stitches at the armholes, and raised the v-neck to an inch after the armhole split.
