{"product_id":"persephone-top","title":"Persephone Top","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Persephone Top is a refined and upscale summer staple for your wardrobe. The top features thoughtful details such as baby cables which join seamlessly under the arm, a clean and meticulous double-knit button band, and an adorable mini saddle detail on the shoulder. Construction wise, this design is worked flat from the top down to allow for easy customization with waist shaping, German short row shaping, and optional bust dart customizations for the possible best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 (2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7), (8, 9, 10) to fit bust size: 26-28 (28-30, 32-34, 36-38), (40-42, 44-46, 48-50), (52-54, 56-58, 60-62) in [66-71 (71-76, 81-86, 91-97), (102-107, 112-117, 122-127), (132-137, 142-147, 152-157) cm].
