It unfortunately, doesn’t tell you much about the styling of the tank.
Our Kimber Tank is styled after a traditional ballet tank – with a scooped front neckline and a scooped back. Our Kimber tank is a modification on the traditional ballet tank in that the scooped back has been “drawn up” and is not so low that a woman couldn’t wear her own bra underneath the tank, without it showing.
We’ve made the tank in our new performance-based fabrication – a 90/10 recycled poly/span fabric. This fabric keeps its shape well, endures rigorous workouts, doesn’t pill, holds up wash after wash and provides good chest support. We’ve included an attached bra-shelf in this Kimber Tank – and the bra shelf provides good, solid support and coverage – with no worry of the ‘gals’ making a showing unexpectedly in a class. It’ll cover and support up to a D cup. I know – I’m a D cup (used to be a C but with the coming of my little lady, Madeline, so too was the richness of my bosom)! Lastly, I love my camis with the spaghetti straps, especially in the Summer months, but sometimes, I like thicker shoulder straps that feel “supportive” and provide the coverage I need on that particular day. The Kimber Tank does the trick here – the straps are about 1″ thick. This tank is one of my personal favorites. Why?
Well, for a couple of reasons:
The scooped front makes it feminine and not so rigidly “athletic” looking.
The scooped back accentuates the upper back and shoulder bone structure – listen – anywhere where I can accentuate my athletic frame w/o fat working its way into the limelight, is an area I want to show-off.
As said above, my “ladies” don’t come toppling out when I’m upside down or performing my 50th chaturanga, and for that, I am grateful.
I adore the side-body ruching. I find that double-side ruching on the torso makes me feel the top is for someone who is pregnant. That’s just MY impression and I do own double-sided ruched tops but the one-sided ruching is sophisticated, does the trip of “hiding” any minor imperfections I may have with my tummy and adds a nice simple dimension to the tank
The length if 25″ from top of shoulder to the bottom of the waistline. I’m slightly short-waisted but I’m also 6 foot tall. This top covers me nicely, hits be just below my hip bones and keeps me covered throughout my 1.5 hour Prana Power Yoga class, without much of any tugging and fussing.
That all said, let’s get down to answering the questions at hand.
Why does the Kimber Tank have its particular design?
I am always thinking about femininity and functionality.
It is a feminine tank The side-body ruching offers a sophisticated look as well as ‘hidden’ coverage of the tummy The asymmetrical line across the bodice de-accentuates the size of the breasts – so a great top for C and D cupped women
