Japanese Weekend's D&A Obi Style in another staple design that is available in a number of pretty patterns including a burgundy floral pattern this Fall. This style is similar to the cross over V neck but also has an empire waist sash that ties in the back allowing a flowing, non-clingy look. This top is great for maternity wear as there is plenty of belly room with an extra long length and also easily covers and camouflages a postpartum belly. The cross over front allows easy and discreet nursing access from unbuttoning material under the obi sash empire waist.
