Cambia Top - Tester Round Up

Bringing a new pattern to life is always a journey—and the Cambia Top was no exception. With its distinctive pleated, sleeveless silhouette in View A and the playful, detachable tied sleeves in View B, this design came together through rounds of feedback, careful tweaking, and plenty of love. But I didn’t do it alone. This top wouldn’t exist in its final form without the incredible group of testers who helped shape it. From fitting suggestions to styling ideas, they poured their time, talent, and insight into this project—and I’m so excited to share their beautiful makes with you. Let’s take a look!
