Angel Wings Striped Open Front Dropped Shoulder Cardigan — Measurement & Fit

How to measure this cardigan (and compare to your fit)

Use a soft measuring tape and measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. If you are measuring a similar piece that already fits you well, follow the same points and compare the numbers. Record measurements in both inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

• Bust / Chest (Garment): Lay the cardigan flat, smooth it without stretching. Measure straight across the front approximately 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes, from side seam to side seam. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Back Length: Measure from the center-back neck (where the neck seam would sit) straight down to the hem. For open-front styles you can also measure the front from shoulder to hem if length differs.
• Shoulder Width: Measure across the top from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. Note: a dropped-shoulder style has the shoulder seam set lower than a traditional shoulder, so this measurement will be longer and the seam will sit below the natural shoulder line when worn.
• Sleeve Length (outer): Measure from the shoulder seam (where sleeve joins the body) along the top of the sleeve to the cuff. For some shoppers it’s helpful to also measure Center Back Neck to Cuff (CBN to cuff) — measure from center back of the neck, across the shoulder/top, to the cuff — this is common for outerwear length reference.
• Sleeve Opening / Cuff: Measure the width of the sleeve opening laid flat and double it for circumference.
• Hem Width: Measure flat across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam and double for circumference.

How to measure your body (to choose size)

• Bust / Chest (Body): Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and comfortably snug.
• Sleeve Length (Body): For sleeve fit, measure from the center back of your neck, over the shoulder, and down to your wrist (with arm slightly bent) to compare to the garment's CBN-to-cuff measurement.
• Shoulder (Body): Measure from the bony point at one shoulder across the back to the bony point at the other shoulder.
• Fit tip: For a relaxed, layered look keep 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease at the bust; for a more fitted look choose closer to your body measurement.

Quick tips: measure twice for accuracy, don’t stretch the knit while measuring, and compare the garment measurements to a similar item that already fits the way you like.

Materials & Fabric

This style is a soft knitted, open-front cardigan with striped detailing and a dropped shoulder construction. Exact material composition can vary by color or production batch — please refer to the garment label or the product details on the page for the exact fiber breakdown.

Typical fabric characteristics (what to expect)

• Knit construction: Flexible, breathable, and drapey — the knit gives the cardigan its relaxed silhouette and comfortable stretch.
• Common fibers: Many cardigans use blends such as acrylic (soft, lightweight, easy-care), polyester (durable, colorfast), viscose/rayon (drapey, soft), cotton (breathable), and a small percentage of elastane/spandex (for recovery and stretch). Any of these may be present.
• Warmth & weight: Midweight knit — suitable for layering through spring and fall or as a cozy indoor layer in winter.
• Surface & pilling: Depending on fiber mix, some pilling may occur with wear; blends with nylon or polyester tend to be more resistant.

If you need the exact fabric percentages for allergy or care reasons, check the product detail area or the sewn-in care label before purchase.

About the model & fit reference

The pictured styling typically shows the cardigan worn with a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette because of its dropped-shoulder construction. For reference, product imagery commonly uses a model around 5'8"–5'10" (≈173–178 cm) wearing a sample size Small—please check the product image caption or product details to confirm the exact model height and sample size for this listing.

Fit guidance:

• This cardigan is designed for a relaxed, open-front fit. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you like a very roomy, layered look, keep your usual size or size up.
• The dropped shoulder creates an intentionally slouchy sleeve and wider upper arm — expect more room across the shoulders and sleeve cap than a traditional set-shoulder style.

Care Guide — Keep it lovely longer

• Wash: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle in cold water. Turn the cardigan inside out and place in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for knits; avoid bleach and heavy-duty stain removers that can damage fibers or color.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack to preserve shape and avoid stretching.
• Ironing / steaming: If needed, use low heat or a steamer; iron inside-out with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat, which can distort synthetic fibers.
• Storage: Fold knits rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretching. Store in a cool, dry place; use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths if storing long-term.
• Pilling & surface care: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Avoid excessive abrasion from bags or rough surfaces.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly—blot (don’t rub) with cold water and mild soap, and launder as recommended.
• Frequency of washing: Air out between wears and wash only when necessary to extend the life of the knit.
• Professional care: For wool or delicate blends, consider professional dry cleaning if the garment label recommends it.

Style Tips

• Casual everyday: Throw over a white tee and your favorite jeans with sneakers for an easy, lived-in look. The stripes add visual interest without effort.
• Work-appropriate: Layer over a light blouse or thin turtleneck and tailored trousers; finish with loafers or ankle boots for a polished, cozy office outfit.
• Defined waist: Add a slim belt at the natural waist or over the cardigan (closed or lightly cinched) to create shape and balance the relaxed shoulders.
• Dress it up: Wear open over a slip dress or midi dress with heeled boots or pumps; add a long pendant necklace to elongate the silhouette.
• Play with proportions: Balance the cardigan’s relaxed top half with slimmer bottoms — skinny jeans, straight-leg trousers, or pencil skirts work well.
• Color coordination: Pull one stripe color into accessories (scarf, bag, or shoes) to make the look feel intentional and cohesive.
• Layering through seasons: Spring/fall: wear as an outer layer over tees and light tops. Winter: layer over thin knit sweaters and under a coat (folded or draped to avoid bulk).

Experiment with belts, textures, and proportions to make this striped open-front cardigan work for your personal style.
