The Doli Tank Review (and giveaway!)

 

I was really excited when Sarah from EmmyLouBeeDoo asked me to pattern test her newest pattern, the Doli Tank.  The tank is designed for lightweight wovens (like lawn, rayon challis, lightweign linen etc) and I used some of the delicious voile I picked up on my latest trip Stateside.  The pattern is available in sizes 12m to 6yr, the size I tested.

The tank has a slightly high-lo hem, easy-fitting shape, ribbing trim, and an exaggerated racer back (this is my favourite bit).

It's super neat on the inside too with french seams all over the place.  You might have noticed that my trim isn't sitting exactly flat which is my fault for using a hefty cotton lycra because I don't follow instructions because I didn't have a coordinating ribbing.  Sarah also narrowed the height of the trim post-testing, so it should sit flatter even if you use a cotton lycra like me.  Now that I've shown you how the Doli Tank would look if you live North of The Wall and there's a gale force wind blowing, here are some pics which more accurately reflect the lovely cut and drape.

And the very best news is that Sarah has generously offered a giveaway copy of this pattern for my readers!  To enter you don't even have to like Sarah in real life (although you totally will as she's one of my favourite people), you just need to like her Facebook page.  Or follow her blog, or follow her on Instagram.  After you do one of those things (or all of them as I recommend), leave a comment on this post.  The giveaway winner will be randomly selected on Sunday night.

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED! Congrats to Sandraled!**
