The easy-to-wear Cotai Top is flattering to many shapes, as it has a boxy fit with no shaping along the waist. This top has a gently rounded neckline and an eye-catching lace panel up the center of both the front and the back. The lace detail was inspired by the geometric shapes of the ocean and waves along the beach.
