tube top

A strapless garment consisting of a continuous band of fabric across the torso, with the neckline stopping at the character's chest. Length ranges from covering the entire torso to just covering the breasts, or part of them; the latter two cases can additionally qualify as a bandeau or crop top. Traditionally, the only support they provided was due to the stretchiness of the fabric. Tube tops do not have any attached sleeves, meaning that they leave the shoulders/arms and upper chest area bare. Called boob tube in British English.

A tube top made of bandages is referred to as a sarashi.

Tube tops are innately strapless, thus should not be tagged sleeveless.
