The Weekend Cami is a sleek, simple tank top with a moderate V-neck front, and a shallow V-neck back. It’s constructed top down and intended to be worn with negative ease at the chest and slight positive ease over the high hip.

This cami was designed with a wider front than back to facilitate this close fit, and also includes an optional curvy view that has a wider front than the straight view, and optional bust darts, so that it can fit effortlessly for those with a larger bust size.

This is a cami with modest bra coverage, and is designed to be layered, and, with accessorizing, can be dressed up or down easily. Wear it any day of the week, but I love it simply, over jeans and for any weekend activity.

A top down, V-neck tank top to dress up or down for any day.
