Christine Haynes Dune Tank and Briefs

Buy the Dune Tank and Briefs sewing pattern from Christine Haynes. The Dune Tank is a minimal and elegant tank top, with bound armholes and necklines. The narrow straps attach to the body of the tank with O-rings and have elastic encased inside, so they won’t stretch out with wear. A wardrobe staple appropriate for wearing both at home and outside, it is ideal for lounging, exercising, or simply worn as a top. The Dune Briefs are a full cut, high-rise modern undergarment with elastic-free bound openings, so they won’t cut into your lovely curves for ultimate comfort. Lounge in the briefs at home, or wear under your clothes as traditional underwear.
