Round Neck Dropped Shoulder Sweater | Dusty Blue / S 100100010264061

How to Measure

Use a similar sweater you already own. Lay it flat on a table without stretching, smooth out wrinkles, and measure with a soft tape. Double flat measurements to get the full circumference.

1. Chest/Bust: Measure straight across the front from 2–3 cm below the armhole to the same point on the other side. Double this number for circumference.
2. Shoulder Width (drop-shoulder):
   • If there is a visible shoulder/sleeve seam: measure straight across the back from seam to seam.
   • If the seam sits lower (typical for drop-shoulder): measure from the point where the sleeve joins the body on one side to the same point on the other.
   • If there’s no defined seam: measure from natural shoulder point to natural shoulder point across the back.
3. Sleeve Length:
   • Method A (from shoulder seam): measure from the top of the sleeve seam down to the end of the cuff.
   • Method B (center-back method): measure from the center back of the neck, over the shoulder, down to the end of the cuff. This method works well for drop-shoulder styles.
4. Body Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neckline) straight down to the bottom hem.
5. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for circumference.
6. Sleeve Opening (optional): Measure across the cuff; double for circumference.

Note: Knits are flexible—allow a measurement tolerance of approximately 1–3 cm.

Materials & Fabric

This round-neck, dropped-shoulder sweater is typically crafted from soft knit fibers designed for comfort and easy layering. Exact composition can vary by color or batch—please refer to the product label or composition line on this page for specifics. Common fabric options for this style include:

• Cotton (or cotton-rich blends): breathable, soft against skin, easy-care with good year-round wearability.
• Wool/Merino blends: naturally warm and breathable, excellent temperature regulation; requires gentler care.
• Acrylic or recycled acrylic: lightweight, soft hand-feel, retains shape well, lower itch for many wearers.
• Polyester (often recycled): adds durability and helps resist creasing; commonly blended to improve longevity.
• Nylon/Elastane (small %): improves stretch recovery and helps the sweater hold its shape at cuffs and hem.

Hand-feel is typically soft with a relaxed drape; mid-weight knits offer warmth without bulk. Pilling can occur with all knits over time—see care tips below to minimize and manage it.

Model & Fit Information

• Silhouette: Relaxed, easy fit with a dropped shoulder and subtly slouchy sleeve.
• Neckline: Classic round/crew neck for simple layering.
• Intended Fit: True-to-size for a relaxed look. Size down for a neater fit; size up for an oversized, slouchier vibe.
• Length: Designed to hit around the hip on most heights, ideal for half-tucks and layering over tees or shirts.
• Layering: Roomy enough to wear over a tee, blouse, or thin turtleneck.

For the best match, compare the flat measurements above with a sweater you like the fit of, rather than relying on size labels alone.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first for fiber-specific instructions.
• Washing:
  • Cotton/cotton-blends or acrylic: machine wash cold on gentle, inside out, in a mesh bag with mild detergent.
  • Wool/cashmere/merino blends: hand wash cold or use a dedicated wool cycle with wool detergent. Do not wring.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a clean towel. Avoid hanging (can stretch) and avoid tumble drying.
• De-pilling: Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver lightly when needed. Washing inside out and avoiding friction reduces pilling.
• Iron/Steam: Steam or cool iron inside out. Do not place a hot iron directly on the knit or any prints/labels.
• Storage: Fold and store in a drawer or shelf. Avoid hangers to prevent shoulder bumps. For wool, store clean with cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Stain Care: Spot treat promptly with mild soap; blot, don’t rub.

Style Tips

• Casual off-duty: Half-tuck into straight-leg jeans with clean sneakers. Add a crossbody bag.
• Work-ready: Layer over a crisp collared shirt with tailored trousers or a midi skirt and loafers.
• Layer play: Wear over a thin turtleneck in cooler weather; top with a trench or oversized blazer.
• Dress it up: Pair with a satin slip skirt or wide-leg trousers, ankle boots, and a structured coat.
• Proportion balance: The relaxed drop-shoulder shines with slimmer bottoms (skinny/straight) or neatly tailored wide-legs. Try a front tuck to define the waist.
• Accessories: Add a delicate chain, hoop earrings, or a scarf to highlight the round neckline.
