Button Up Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

Use a flexible tape measure and a flat, even surface. When measuring a garment flat, double flat measurements to get full circumferences (e.g., pit-to-pit × 2 = chest circumference).

Measure the garment (flat‑lay)

1. Chest / Bust (pit‑to‑pit): Lay the cardigan flat and smooth but do not stretch. Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other, about 1 cm (½") below the armhole. Multiply by 2 for full circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length: From the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan styles, measure from the center back at the base of the neck to the cuff.
4. Garment length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neckline) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
6. Cuff opening: Measure the width of the cuff and double for circumference.

Measure your body (to pick the right size)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level and a bra you would normally wear.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder point to shoulder point across your back.
3. Arm length: From shoulder point down to where you want the sleeve to finish.
4. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. For a fitted look choose a garment measurement close to your body measurement; for light layering add about 2–4 cm (1–1.5"); for a relaxed/oversized look add about 8–12 cm (3–5").

Note: Knit fabrics have varying stretch. If the fabric contains elastane/nylon, you may need less extra ease.

Materials & fabric information

Cardigans come in a range of knit fibers. Below are common options and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton — Breathable and soft; generally machine washable on cold. May shrink slightly; reshape and lay flat to dry.
• Wool / Merino — Warm and insulating; can be hand-washed or dry-cleaned depending on finish; avoid hot water and agitation to prevent felting.
• Cashmere — Very soft and luxurious; delicate care (hand wash or dry clean) and prone to pilling.
• Acrylic — Lightweight, colorfast and low maintenance; may pill over time.
• Viscose / Modal / Rayon — Drapey and smooth; can lose shape when wet—gentle wash and flat dry recommended.
• Polyester blends — Durable and wrinkle-resistant; often blended with natural fibers for strength and easier care.
• Elastane / Nylon (small %) — Adds stretch and helps the garment retain shape.

Always refer to the product label or product details for the exact fiber composition of this specific cardigan.

Model information

Example model details (for reference):

• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Fit note: The model wears a Small for a slightly fitted look. If you prefer a looser or layered fit, consider sizing up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the garment care label first—fabric-specific instructions override general guidance.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to reduce abrasion and pilling.
• Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
• For wool/cashmere/delicates use a wool-safe detergent or consider professional dry cleaning.
• Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry; avoid tumble drying unless the label explicitly allows it.
• If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth; steaming is a gentler option for removing wrinkles.
• To reduce pilling: wash less frequently, store folded (not hung), and remove pills gently with a fabric comb or shaver.
• Store clean and dry; use cedar or lavender to deter moths for natural fiber garments.

Style Tips

• Weekend casual: Button up or leave open over a tee with high-rise jeans and sneakers.
• Workwear: Layer over a blouse or shirt and pair with tailored trousers or a midi skirt for a polished look.
• Belted waist: Button halfway and add a slim belt to define the waist for a chic silhouette.
• Transitional layering: Use as a mid-layer under a coat in cooler months; choose thin knits to avoid bulk.
• Dress it up: Pair with a slip dress or silk skirt and heels for a refined evening outfit.
• Play with proportions: Cropped cardigans work well with high-waisted bottoms; oversized cardigans pair best with slim or structured pieces.
• Color pairing: Neutral shades are versatile; use bright or patterned cardigans as the focal point of an outfit.
• Accessories: Add necklaces, scarves or statement earrings to elevate the look when the cardigan is open or buttoned.
