Bratique Helene

Bratique Helene is a boutique that makes tops for women wiht a full bust. We've heard that buying tops can be quite hard for women with larger chest sizes, so we are thrilled to find a company that helps them. Each top is available two ways for each size depending on the chest size, which will only ensure that the top fits you better. Available on their site is a cami shell, a button down top, and a wrap, each in two colors. The button down uses eye and hooks instead of buttons so the top won't open up between each button. We'd love to know what you all think of this company, so please comment if you try them out!
Ombre Tunic by Splendid

In general ombre tops are overdone, but the Ombre Tunic by Splendid
we still like because it's not the same old tank or blouse with this feature. This top has a deep V-neck, gathered elastic banding and tie at the empire waist, elbow length dolman sleeves, and is semi-sheer. It's available in three colors: lemon, strawberry, and blurple.
