Indulge your bohemian side with the Briarwood Top! If you’ve got big boobs and love the bohemian style, you may have been frustrated with trying to get the easy, flowing style to work for you in ready-to-wear. Despite the gathers, there never seems to be enough room for your boobs, and the shoulders? Too wide, always slipping off like a missed beat.

Let’s face it, true freedom comes from feeling as good as you look, and it’s time to find a fit that lets us all dance to our heart’s content—enter the Briarwood Top.

The Briarwood comes in sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H and is available exclusively to Cashmerette Club members. Not a member yet? Join today for as little as $9 (cancel anytime).
