Victory Tank

This is a paper pattern

Sew the perfect warm-weather wardrobe staple with the Victory Tank sewing pattern by Chalk and Notch. This modern woven tank features a relaxed swing silhouette and includes two stylish, interchangeable views, making it a versatile pattern you'll want to make again and again.

View A is a classic tank with a flattering scoop neckline and a mid-hip length that's easy to pair with jeans, shorts or skirts. View B offers a contemporary twist with delicate V-shaped straps at the front, a striking V-back cut-out and a cropped length that's ideal for high-waisted bottoms. Both versions are fully lined for a beautiful, professional finish, and you can mix and match the design features to create your perfect tank.

Fabric Requirements

The fabric requirements below are the minimum needed. If you're using a directional print, matching patterns, or allowing for fabric shrinkage, you may wish to purchase extra.

44" (112 cm) wide fabric

• Main fabric: 1–2 yd (0.9–1.8 m)
• Lining: 1-2 yd (0.9-1.8 m)

Sizing

• US sizes 0-30

• Includes A/B and C/D bust cup options

For the best fit, use your high bust and full bust measurements when selecting your size. If you fall between sizes, it's recommended to size up, and sewing a test garment (toile) is always a good idea before cutting into your final fabric.

Bust Cup Options

The pattern includes two bust cup options to help achieve a better fit.

• A/B Cup: Difference between high bust and full bust is 0-2" (0-5 cm)
• C/D Cup: Difference between high bust and full bust is 2-4" (5-10 cm)

If the difference between your high bust and full bust is greater than 4" (10 cm), you may wish to perform a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA).

With its clean lines, comfortable fit and multiple design options, the Victory Tank is a versatile sewing pattern that's perfect for building a handmade summer wardrobe you'll wear on repeat.
