Does anyone know why the tank tops in these sets are always at least 3 inches smaller in the chest than the top itself? I can never buy them... or buy them and never wear the tank. Bob Mackie had a beautiful one on the other day which required the tank be worn as the top was pretty sheer. I lost out.  Thanks in advance!

The tank will fit closer to the body, so your sizing will be for the blouse. 

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I wouldn't want the tank all baggy under the blouse.

It's supposed to be that way.  The underlying tank should fit close to the body like a camisole.

I understand that, but if the blouse fits, the tank doesn't. It's the chest measurement that counts. Couldn't the tank be tapered down from the bust so it wouldn't be baggy? I don't know, I guess I'm screwed. Thanks everyone for your feedback.!!

The tank is meant to fit close to the body and the blouse is supposed to be looser so it will fit over the tank!

 

Select your size by the tank measurement.
