The Angel Top

The Angel Top was designed to be worn by a woman who wants something comfortable,
and secure while still making a strong fashion statement. Inspired by Spanish romance, the ruffle
and lace draping over the shoulder give a feminine and flirty flare. It was named The Angel Top
because it gives the illusion of having wings as you fly around a room.
