Buy the Verano Tank Top and Dress sewing pattern from Christine Haynes. The Verano Tank is a modern tank top and dress with four views, all with the option of either a solid or button front, for a total of eight different variations. All views are sleeveless and have bust darts and a scoop front.

View A has a shirt tail hem and chest pocket, and ends at the upper hip. View B has sewn-down side seam pockets and a shirt tail hem that lands just below the knee. View C features a gathered skirt with patch pockets that hits below the knee and is attached to the tank slightly above the natural waist. View D is also cut just above the natural waist, with a two-tier midi length full gathered skirt, which has pockets sewn into the side and waist seams so they stay in place. Pockets can be added or subtracted to any view as desired.
