Description
Ginseng is a V-neck tank top designed by Sarah Hatton that is packed with intricate details along the neck and side seams with a 1x1 rib section at the top of the body. It comes with 2 length options—a shorter version or a longer version with vents at the lower rib. The deep V creates a flattering fit whether you wear it on its own as part of a beach outfit, with a shirt or long-sleeved tee as part of a layered look for warmth or as a splash of color over a dress for an evening out.
The front and back of the vest are knit separately and joined at the shoulders with a decorative 3-needle bind off. The sides are then seamed using the mattress stitch.
