Dover tank

I have always loved this brand’s designs, not much so the price. But I bought the Dover tank because it was something I’ve been wanting and thought I’d treat myself. It’s great quality, feels very comfy and nice and I feel super cool in it! It runs a little big though and I needed to take it in a tad myself but it wasn’t too bad, definitely size down! I’m so excited to have this piece and support a small business that is size inclusive! 

Ordered the Dover tank with the Venus flytrap design and was so excited about it! When I received it, immediately upon taking it out of the packaging, I knew it was going to be too small, which was really disappointing considering this is an $80 cotton tank top... Speaking of which, this is a thicker cotton, with very little stretch, so it was hard to even get it over my head. 

I have a significantly larger chest compared to my overall frame but I can usually get away with large or extra-large in tops and dresses from most brands. Based on another review here, I thought ordering the Dover tank in Large would be fine if it supposedly ran a little big anyway but it didn't end up working out like that for me. It's very tight around my chest and back, and because it's a bit shorter (not necessarily cropped but definitely waist-skimming), it sits really high up on my torso and gathers under my bust. It's overall not very flattering and I can't really picture myself wearing it anymore in this size (and as it's constantly sold out and I'm now confused about what size might actually work, I don't know that I'd even bother trying to repurchase). Overall just really disappointed because I was so looking forward to wearing this top.
