Cider is an ideal transitional season top, with a grown-on sleeve and gentle boat neck design. It’s the perfect elevated basic for your wardrobe. Cider features underbust gathers and a flowy back that cinches with back waist ties. The added lace trim on the armholes and hem makes for a unique top. You can easily omit the lace if it’s not your style.
