The Women's Layering Tank is a versatile and comfortable top made of a soft, stretchy cotton-spandex blend fabric that is breathable and durable. Many customers appreciate the longer length and wide shoulder straps, which provide good coverage and a flattering fit. However, some found the tank too long, especially for petite frames, and noted inconsistent sizing across orders. Additionally, some customers felt the newer version had a thinner, less substantial fabric compared to previous versions. Overall, the tank is a well-reviewed product that offers good quality and value as a comfortable layering piece or standalone top.
The top is simply wonderful, summer or winter for layering. Feels great and the length is just right.

Waaaay too long
Fit: True to size
I read the other reviews on this tank and thought I wouldn't mind the longer length because I am tall and have a long torso. I actually thought it would fit great, but I was wrong.

Perfect layering tank
Fit: True to size
I wear this layering tank almost every day at work. I got it in white and I use it for extra warmth. I also use it for modesty when a tank top has arm holes which are too big. I wi

I bought 2 of these in different colors. The fit is good, but I’m disappointed in the thickness of the fabric, as it is more like a camisole than a tank to wear as clothing. I have

I ordered this a month or two ago, because the Large regular was too long and I hoped the Large petite might be the same size as the Large regular only shorter. Alas, that was not

Fit: Too small
The fabric was very thin, could see through it.
The petite small was also too small.

I bought this "layering tank" in classic black and white, and specifically in the Petite size, but I find that (1) it's too long to truly be a layering tank, in that it's longer th

Size Purchased: Large
Fit: A little small

I took a chance on LLBean in hopes that they were not following the trend of tank tops being more like underwear than a shirt. Material is too thin.
