Eyelet Open Front Half Sleeve Cardigan | Hot Pink / S 100100801011274

Overview

The Eyelet Open Front Half Sleeve Cardigan is a lightweight, breathable layering piece defined by delicate eyelet texture and a relaxed open-front silhouette. Its soft, drapey handle and light stretch make it comfortable for all-day wear—ideal as a summer cover-up, a spring or fall transitional layer, or a polished topper for casual office looks. The unlined construction keeps the piece airy while the blend of natural-feeling and synthetic fibers gives a balance of softness, shape retention and low-maintenance performance.

Why you'll love it

• Effortless layering: open front and half sleeves for easy on/off and versatile coverage.
• Textured interest: eyelet pattern adds feminine detail without bulk.
• Soft drape with stretch: moves with you and holds its shape through wear.
• Travel-friendly: lightweight, resists wrinkles and packs neatly.
• Easy care: designed to be low-maintenance with gentle home laundering.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Soft hand and fluid drape that flatters most body shapes.
• Breathable and moisture-absorbent qualities in the base fibers help comfort in warm weather.
• Added synthetic content improves durability, color retention and wrinkle resistance.
• Small amount of stretch gives a better fit and prevents sagging over time.
• Eyelet construction increases airflow and visual interest without extra weight.

Cons

• Openwork eyelet can be slightly sheer over dark or patterned tops—pair with a cami or tee as needed.
• Synthetic fibers in the blend can pill with friction over time; take care during washing and wearing.
• Delicate yarns around eyelets can snag on jewelry or rough surfaces.
• High heat in washing or drying can weaken fibers or reduce elasticity if not cared for properly.

About the materials

Here’s how the component fibers contribute to performance and feel:

• Rayon (regenerated cellulose): Made from plant-based cellulose converted into a soft, silk-like fiber. It provides excellent drape, a smooth surface and good moisture absorption, so garments feel cool and comfortable. Rayon prefers gentle laundering and can be sensitive to strong agitation and heat.
• Polyester: A synthetic fiber valued for strength, quick-drying behavior and colorfastness. When blended in small proportions it helps garments keep their shape, resist wrinkles and last longer through repeated washing.
• Spandex (elastane): A high-stretch fiber added in small amounts to provide elasticity and recovery. It makes the cardigan easier to move in and helps maintain the intended silhouette.

Together, the blend aims to combine the natural drape of regenerated cellulose with the durability and resilience of synthetics and the comfort of stretch.

How to measure (body and garment) for the best fit

Measure your body

1. Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a bra similar to the one you’ll wear with the cardigan. Keep the tape level around the back.
2. Underbust: Measure directly under the bust if you want to check band/proportion for fitted layering.
3. Waist: Measure at the natural narrowest point of your torso.
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
5. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder point to the other (seam to seam on a well-fitting top).
6. Sleeve preference: For half-sleeves, measure from the shoulder point down to where you want the sleeve to end (about mid-upper arm or elbow area).
7. Torso length: Measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you prefer the hem to fall.

Measure the garment (if you have access to it or use product measurements)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching.
2. Chest/Front width: Measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam and double that number to get full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure seam-to-seam across the back.
4. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to sleeve edge (for half sleeve, this will be shorter—measure to where the sleeve ends).
5. Back length: From the center back base of the neck to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for circumference.

Fit rule of thumb: allow 0–1 inch (0–2.5 cm) of ease for a fitted look, 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) for a semi-fitted look, and 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) or more for a relaxed/oversized drape. Convert inches to centimeters using 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Fit notes

• Designed as an open-front, easy-layering piece—no fastenings alter the front silhouette.
• Half sleeves offer coverage with a cool feel; may hit the upper- to mid-arm depending on your arm length.
• Because the cardigan is unlined and uses eyelet texture, underlying garments will show through the openings—choose a coordinating cami or top when modesty is desired.
• If you plan to layer over thicker knits, consider moving up one size for comfortable arm and shoulder mobility.

Seasonal wear

Best suited to spring, summer and early fall thanks to its lightweight, breathable construction and ventilated eyelet pattern. In cooler months it works well as a mid-layer—pair under a jacket or coat and over a long-sleeve base layer for added warmth without bulk.

How to care — quick tips

• Wash gently in cold water (hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag).
• Use a mild detergent and avoid chlorine bleach.
• Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry for the longest life; if you use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
• Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth or refresh with a steamer—be cautious around eyelet openings.
• Fold for storage long-term to prevent shoulder stretch; hang briefly if preferred for daily wear.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Before the first wash, turn the cardigan inside out to protect the eyelet surface and color. Wash separately the first time to avoid potential dye transfer.
2. Use a mesh bag and select a gentle or hand-wash cycle with cold water. Avoid heavy agitation.
3. Skip fabric softeners that can build up on fibers; a small amount of mild detergent is best.
4. After washing, gently press excess water with a towel—do not wring. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat on a towel to dry.
5. If you must tumble dry, choose the lowest heat and remove promptly; repeated high-heat drying will age the elastane and reduce recovery.
6. To refresh between wears, steam lightly or use a cool iron through a protective cloth. Avoid direct iron on eyelet holes.
7. Fix snags promptly by gently pulling loose loops to the inside with a needle or small hook—do not cut the thread close to the fabric.
8. Remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater stone on a low setting and follow product instructions carefully.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Casual weekend: white tee, high-rise jeans and white sneakers. Let the cardigan add texture and effortless polish.
• Office smart casual: silk or satin cami, tapered trousers and loafers. Add a delicate pendant and a slim belt over the cardigan for a shaped silhouette.
• Evening out: slip dress or a fitted midi with heeled sandals and statement earrings. The eyelet texture brings a romantic layer.
• Beach & travel: lightweight swimsuit or tank, denim shorts and sandals. The cardigan doubles as sun protection and a cover-up.
• Layering trick: add a thin turtleneck under the cardigan on cooler days to extend seasonal wear and create a vertical frame.

Color & coordination

Neutral shades (ivory, beige, grey, black, navy) are highly versatile—pair seamlessly with denim, monochrome outfits or printed dresses. Pastel colors play well with soft neutrals and light-wash denim; bolder colors add contrast against cream or black underlayers. Consider tonal accessories (scarves, belts, shoes) to pull the look together.

Model information & how to interpret photos

Retail images are typically shown on a model to illustrate fit and length. If model height and the size worn are not listed on the product page, use the measuring guidance above to compare your body measurements to the garment dimensions. Keep in mind that a model with an average height will present the cardigan as mid-hip length; taller customers may find the hem sits lower, while shorter customers will find it shorter on the torso.

Tip: If you want the same drape and proportion as pictured, check for any model measurements listed on the product page and match them to your own proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the cardigan see-through?

The eyelet pattern creates small openings that can show the underlying garment—layer with a cami or tee when you want more coverage or choose contrasting colors for a styled layering effect.

Will it shrink after washing?

If laundered gently in cool water and dried flat or on low heat, shrinkage is minimal. Avoid hot water and high-heat drying to prevent fiber contraction.

Does it pill or snag easily?

Pilling is possible over time where the fabric rubs (underarm, against bag straps). Snags can occur around eyelet openings—avoid rough surfaces and handle jewelry with care. Use a fabric comb or shaver to manage pills.

Can I iron or steam it?

Yes—use a low-temperature iron with a pressing cloth or a garment steamer. Avoid high heat directly on the elastic fibers and the eyelet holes.

How should I size if I want to layer over thicker knits?

Consider sizing up one size for greater ease across shoulders and arms when wearing heavier layers beneath.

Is this piece suitable for warm climates?

Yes—the airy eyelet texture and lightweight construction make it comfortable in warm weather while providing sun coverage and breathability.

What do I do if it snags?

Gently coax the pulled loop toward the inside using a needle or a small crochet hook. Avoid cutting the thread close to the surface; secure the loop if needed to prevent further pulling.

Can I take it on trips?

Absolutely—its lightweight and wrinkle-resistant nature make it a practical travel companion. Fold carefully or roll for packing to reduce creasing.

How to remove small stains?

Treat small spots immediately with a mild detergent and cold water. Blot rather than rub to avoid spreading the stain or stressing fibers.

Is it good for layering in winter?

As a single layer it’s lightweight, but it works well as a mid-layer beneath a coat or over a long-sleeve top for extra warmth and texture.

Final note

This cardigan offers a blend of softness, stretch and visual interest—an easy way to elevate casual outfits or add a refined touch to dresses and workwear. If you like breathable, low-bulk layers that pack well and style easily, this is a practical and pretty addition to the closet.
