The Brattle Top is a simple tee with a twist! The Brattle is a curve-friendly t-shirt with a faced neckline and an inventive twist that adds visual interest without adding bulk. Opt for the Brattle's short sleeves or swap in any of the sleeves from the Concord T-Shirt or Carlyle T-Shirt patterns for even more possibilities. Don't tie yourself up in knots trying to figure out what to wear: from brunch to the gym, the Brattle is your new go-to top! It comes in sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H. The Brattle Top is the Cashmerette Club pattern from April 2023.
