Culture Code Full Size Open Front Cardigan

How to measure this cardigan

All measurements below are taken with the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. Use a soft tape measure and record to the nearest 0.5 cm (1/4 in).

• Bust / Chest: Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference (e.g., 20" flat = 40" chest).
• Center Back Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neckline) straight down to the hem.
• Front Length: From the shoulder seam at the base of the neck down the front hem (useful for open-front styles).
• Shoulder Width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Sleeve Length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan or drop-shoulder styles, measure from the center back of the neck to the cuff if that matches how your pattern is cut.
• Hem Width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for the full hem circumference.
• Armhole (Depth): From the top of the shoulder seam down to the underarm seam.

Tip: To match to a favorite layer, measure that garment the same way and compare. For a layered, relaxed fit add 2–6" (5–15 cm) ease to the body circumference; for a closer fit, choose your usual size or size down.

Materials & fabric

This open-front cardigan is constructed as a soft, mid-weight knit designed for comfortable drape and layering. Common fabric types used for this style include:

• Acrylic / Polyester blends: Soft hand, colorfast, easy care, wrinkle resistant.
• Rayon / Polyester blends: Excellent drape and a smooth, slightly silky feel.
• Cotton blends: Breathable and natural-feeling with good durability.
• Wool or wool blends (seasonal): Warmer and insulating; usually treated as a more delicate fabric.

Exact fiber percentages can vary by color and batch. Please check the garment label or the product specification on the product page for the precise composition of the piece you are purchasing.

Model & fit information

Fit details to help you choose the right size:

• Silhouette: Relaxed, open-front cardigan with a slightly dropped shoulder for easy layering.
• Sizing guidance: Designed for comfortable layering—if you prefer a fitted look, consider sizing down one size; if you plan to layer over bulky sweaters, size up.
• Photo reference: (Reference only) Model shown is approximately 5'9" (175 cm) wearing a mid-range size for visual fit. For exact model height and the size shown, consult the product gallery or product spec on the listing.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect surface fibers and color.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for machine washing to reduce friction and snagging.
• Gently press out excess water—do not wring. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel and reshape while damp.
• Avoid tumble drying—heat and tumbling can shrink and distort knit fabrics.
• If needed, use a low-heat iron and press from the inside or with a pressing cloth. For delicate/wool blends, consider professional dry cleaning.
• Remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Store folded rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretch and distortion.

Style tips

• Casual: Layer over a fitted tee or tank, wear with straight-leg jeans and sneakers for an easy everyday look.
• Office: Pair with a blouse, tapered trousers, and loafers for polished layering that’s comfortable all day.
• Define your shape: Add a slim belt over the cardigan at the natural waist to create structure and visual interest.
• Dress it up: Drape over a slip dress or midi dress with ankle boots and statement earrings for evening-ready layering.
• Travel-friendly: Lightweight and packable—pair with leggings and slip-on shoes for comfortable travel outfits.
• Mix textures: Combine the cardigan with leather or denim bottoms to balance softness with structure.
