The Pixie Tank is an airy tank top with a gorgeous leaf vine lace traveling up the back. The front features wide straps (to cover bra straps) and a racer back. The hem is slightly longer in the back, which is flattering and flirty. This lightweight top is slightly sheer with a fabulous drape. It may be dressed up for elegant wear or paired with jeans for a casual vibe. The Pixie Tank is earthy and mischievous.
