POL Button Down V-Neck Crochet Cardigan | 100100524611539

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface. For body measurements, stand naturally and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

Garment (laid-flat) measurements — step by step

• Chest / Bust: Button the cardigan and smooth it flat. Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full circumference. (Example: 50 cm / 19.7" flat = 100 cm / 39.4" circumference.)
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Front length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neckline) down to the hem at the center front.
• Back length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder at the center back down to the hem (if the product listing uses back length).
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For drop-shoulder styles, note whether the listing measures from the shoulder seam or from the center back neck to cuff.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
• Cuff opening: Measure cuff flat and double to get full opening circumference.

How to measure yourself

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist: Measure at the narrowest point of your torso.
• Hips: Measure at the fullest part of your hips.
• Arm length: With arm relaxed, measure from the shoulder point to the wrist.

Tip: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow ease depending on the look you want: about 2–6 cm (0.75–2.5") for a close fit, 8–15+ cm (3–6"+) for a relaxed or layered fit. Always note whether measurements were taken flat or as a circumference.

Materials

Main fabric: Openwork crochet knit. Exact fiber content is printed on the garment care label; below are common compositions and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton — breathable, soft, comfortable for warm weather; natural matte finish and gentle hand; may relax or shrink slightly on first wash.
• Cotton / Acrylic blend — combines natural feel with improved shape retention and easier care; resists excessive shrinkage.
• Acrylic or synthetic blends — lightweight, colorfast and low-shrinkage; durable, though can be slightly warmer and may pill over time.

Trim: Buttons and trims are typically resin or natural shell. This cardigan is usually unlined to preserve the crochet texture. Always check the product label for the exact fiber percentages and country of origin.

Model information

Reference model measurements: Height 177 cm / 5'10", Bust 84 cm / 33", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35". Model is wearing size S (Small).

Fit notes: The cardigan is designed with a relaxed, openwork silhouette and light drape. If you prefer a more fitted look or want to layer heavy knitwear underneath, consider sizing up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Hand wash cold or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag to protect the crochet.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and strong chemical cleaners.
• Do not wring or twist. Gently press out excess water with a towel.
• Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent distortion and color fade.
• Avoid tumble drying and hanging wet garments (hanging can stretch the shoulders over time).
• Iron on low heat with a cloth barrier if needed; steaming lightly is often safer for crochet texture.
• Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf rather than on a hanger to preserve shape; keep away from rough surfaces and jewelry to prevent snags.
• For snags, gently coax the yarn back into place with a crochet hook or needle rather than cutting; use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Layer over a fitted tee and high-rise jeans for an effortless go-to outfit.
• Office smart-casual: Wear over a silk camisole with tailored trousers and loafers for a polished, textured look.
• Dress it up: Button the cardigan and pair with a midi slip skirt and heeled sandals to balance femininity and structure.
• Belted shape: Cinch at the waist with a narrow belt to create a defined silhouette from an oversized piece.
• Layering in cooler months: Add a thin turtleneck underneath to keep warmth without hiding the crochet detail.
• Beach cover-up: Throw on over a swimsuit for a breezy, bohemian seaside look.
• Boho styling: Combine with wide-leg linen pants, layered necklaces and a straw hat.
• Sleeve styling: Push sleeves up for a casual rolled look or leave long for a softer, elegant line.
