A pretty cami top with a fun colourwork pattern. This cute top comes in nine sizes from 70 cm/28” to 150 cm/60” chest and with a choice of three body lengths – short crop, long crop and full length, plus three different strap lengths.

This summery cami top is the third in a series of three inspired by a perfect holiday in the Scottish Highlands. We always go on holiday in the north of Scotland in summer and we often contend with horizontal rain, hail and even snow. This year though the weather was perfect, unbroken sunshine. The first pattern is named for Sandaig – a perfect rocky beach; the second is named for Arnisdale, the village we stayed in; and the third is named for Corran where we began many long walks and enjoyed fabulous tea and cakes in the tearoom.
