Trapeze Tank and Broad Cardigan

An unusual silhouette makes this 2-piece an extremely flattering ensemble.  The tank has a trapezoidal shape, narrow at the shoulders, hugging the breasts, flowing loosely over the hips and ending in an asymmetrical hem.  The cardigan is very short but wide, so it drapes beautifully down the shoulders.  Both pieces are constructed in one piece without any seams.
