Ribbed Exposed Seam Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. For the most accurate fit, measure your body while standing relaxed or measure a similar-fitting cardigan laid flat. Compare these numbers to the product size chart.

• Bust / Chest (body): Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust/chest. Keep the tape parallel to the floor. Record the measurement in cm or in.
• Bust / Chest (garment laid flat): Lay the cardigan flat and smooth out wrinkles. Measure across the chest 2.5 cm (1") below the armholes from side seam to side seam, then multiply by 2.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waist (narrowest part). For a laid-flat garment, measure across the narrowest point and multiply by 2.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips. For the garment, measure the hem width laid flat and multiply by 2.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For body measurements, measure from the top of the shoulder (high point) down to the wrist while slightly bending the arm.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Garment length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) straight down to the hem.

Tip: Allow 1–2 cm (0.5–1") variance for hand-measured items. If you prefer roomier layering, size up one; for a close, body-skimming fit, choose your usual size.

Materials & fabric details

Actual fiber composition is printed on the product label. Typical constructions for a ribbed exposed-seam cardigan include blends designed for stretch, recovery and durability. Common features:

• Likely composition: ribbed knit blends such as cotton or viscose + polyester/nylon + a small percentage of elastane (2–5%) for recovery.
• Ribbed knit: gives vertical texture, comfortable stretch and a body-skimming silhouette.
• Exposed seams: decorative external seams that add structure and an architectural detail; may slightly reduce drape compared with fully finished seams.
• Lining: usually unlined (single-layer knit).

Fiber quick guide:

• Cotton — breathable, soft, good for everyday wear; may soften and relax with washing.
• Viscose / Modal — drapey and smooth with good color depth; handle gently when wet.
• Polyester / Nylon — durable, retains shape and resists wrinkles; often blended for strength.
• Elastane (Spandex) — adds stretch and recovery; avoid high heat.
• Wool / Merino (if present) — warm and insulating; requires gentler care to prevent felting or shrinkage.

Note: If you need exact fiber percentages for labeling, sustainability claims or allergy concerns, refer to the product tag or technical spec sheet.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Turn inside out before washing to protect the ribs and exposed seams.
2. Wash gently: machine wash cold on a delicate cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent. Place in a mesh bag for extra protection.
3. Avoid bleach & fabric softener: these can break down fibers and affect elasticity.
4. Dry flat: reshape while damp and lay flat on a towel to dry. Avoid hanging to prevent shoulder stretch.
5. No high heat: do not tumble dry on high. If tumble drying is unavoidable, use the lowest heat and remove promptly. Iron on low heat inside out, or steam carefully—avoid direct high heat on elastane-containing areas.
6. Pilling & snags: de-pill gently with a fabric shaver. Trim loose threads; avoid pulling.
7. Storage: fold and store in a drawer or shelf. If containing wool, use breathable storage and natural moth deterrents.
8. Spot treatment: blot fresh stains with a clean cloth and a mild detergent solution; test on an inconspicuous area first.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: wear open over a white tee and high-rise jeans with low-top sneakers for an easy, relaxed look.
• Office ready: button up over a silk camisole or fitted blouse and pair with tailored trousers and loafers. Add a slim belt at the waist for polish.
• Layered looks: layer under a structured coat or blazer to show the exposed seam detail at the hem and cuffs.
• Night out: button the cardigan and wear it as a top with a leather mini skirt or sleek wide-leg trousers and heeled boots.
• Proportions: because ribbed knits hug the body, balance the silhouette with looser bottoms (wide-leg pants, midi skirt) or tuck the front into high-waisted jeans.
• Accessories: add layered necklaces or a statement belt to emphasize the waist; small hoops or studs keep the look refined.
• Color play: neutrals pair well with denim and earth tones; bold hues make a stylish contrast with monochrome or patterned pieces.
