POL Ruffled Open Front Sleeveless Cardigan

How to measure this garment

Use a soft measuring tape and a flat, smooth surface. For garment measurements lay the cardigan flat, smooth out wrinkles without stretching, measure across and multiply by 2 when you need circumference. For body measurements, stand naturally and measure the fullest/softest point where directed.

1. Bust / Chest (Garment): Lay the cardigan flat. Measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam (widest part of the body area). Double that number to get the chest circumference.
2. Shoulder Width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Back Length: From the center back at the base of the neck (where the neck seam meets the body) straight down to the hem.
4. Front Length (at longest point): From the shoulder seam near the neck down the front to the lowest hem or ruffle edge if the ruffle extends below the hem.
5. Armhole / Opening Depth: From the top of the shoulder seam down to the underarm seam (measure along the inside curve if possible).
6. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom edge from one side to the other; double for circumference.
7. Ruffle / Trim Length: Measure from the seam where the ruffle attaches to the outer edge of the ruffle to describe its drop or fullness.

Notes:

• Report garment measurements in both inches and centimeters for customer clarity.
• When sharing body-fit guidance, recommend ease (e.g., 2–4 inches / 5–10 cm of room at the bust for a relaxed drape).
• If possible, provide a size chart that maps garment measurements to recommended body measurements.

Materials

Typical composition for a style like the POL Ruffled Open Front Sleeveless Cardigan (please confirm with the garment tag):

• Main body: Lightweight knit — commonly 95% polyester, 5% elastane or a polyester-rayon blend for soft drape and gentle stretch.
• Ruffle trim: Sheer chiffon or georgette — usually 100% polyester for a soft, flowing ruffle that holds shape.
• Lining (if any): Often unlined; ruffle trims are usually single-layer chiffon.

Fabric characteristics and what they mean:

• Polyester blends: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, and holds color well. May have slight stretch when blended with elastane.
• Chiffon ruffle: Lightweight and airy — delicate, so avoid rough surfaces and snagging jewelry.
• Stretch content: Elastane/spandex adds recovery and comfort, useful for a draped sleeveless cardigan.

How to verify exact fibers: always check the sewn-in care/composition label inside the cardigan for precise percentages and any lining information before finalizing product details.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Turn the cardigan inside out to protect the ruffle.
• Protect the ruffle: Place the cardigan in a mesh laundry bag if machine washing to reduce friction and snagging on the ruffle trim.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying on high heat; if you must tumble dry, use low/no heat.
• Ironing / steaming: Use a low-heat iron on the wrong side or gently steam the ruffle to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct high heat on chiffon trims.
• Storage: Store on a hanger for best drape, or fold carefully to avoid crushing the ruffle. Keep away from rough surfaces and sharp jewelry that can snag fabric.
• Spot care: Blot spills promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not rub aggressively. For stubborn stains or delicate trims, consider professional cleaning.

Style tips

• Casual chic: Layer over a fitted tee or tank and high-rise jeans; add ankle boots or clean white sneakers for an effortless everyday look.
• Office-ready: Wear over a sleeveless blouse with tapered trousers and low heels. Add a slim belt at the waist if you want more shape.
• Dress it up: Layer over a slip dress or midi dress — the ruffle trim adds feminine movement for evening or brunch.
• Accessories: Pair with delicate gold or silver necklaces that fall into the open-front V, and small hoop or stud earrings so they don’t catch the ruffle.
• Layering & travel: Lightweight and packable, it’s perfect as a travel layer — it warms without bulk and layers easily over tees or dresses.
• Color pairing: Neutral cardigans look great with printed tops; a bold-colored cardigan pairs well with neutral bottoms to let the ruffle detail shine.
