This light weight top a great summer knit! With the front and back worked in smooth Stockinette and peek-a-boo lace running up the side, the Elena Tank Top manages to blend sporty and frilly. The wide shoulders and tee-shirt neck line create a casual daytime feel, while the bold lacy sections along the sides add an element of danger of nightlife to the garment.
