This top rocks! The side panels are so flexible and comfortable and the Paris pattern ALWAYS gets compliments. At first I was not sure about the front sweatshirt-style pocket, but now I use it all the time to hold something for a second or two and free up both hands. This is a very nice looking top from front and back. I am here to re-order another pattern! You know it is good when you want to wear it on your day off!
