Product Insights
Le 31's Openwork Knit Tank is an exclusive Simons in-house brand designed in Canada, priced at 29 CAD and in stock. It offers a relaxed comfort fit that is roomier than standard, but may shrink if hot-washed, so sizing up is advisable. The semi-sheer lighter colors (Ivory, Baby Blue) require layering. Hand-wash cold and lay flat to dry to prevent snagging and stretching. Despite potential shrinkage, it shrinks less than pure cotton when washed cold, and the comfort fit offsets shrinkage. At 19.99 CAD, it beats alternatives like Armor-lux (42 CAD) and Target (20 USD) on value with organic cotton, and its openwork texture makes it a versatile layering piece.

Love it!
Sexy under a camp shirt!
Disappointed
The knit was very interesting but there is zero stretch to the fabric. I was most certain that if washed it would shrink. The arm holes are really big. A 2X would have required a lot of alteration because the arm holes are really big so I passed.
