Button Down V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan | Dust Storm / S 100100903576975

How to measure — ensure the perfect fit

Use a soft tape measure. Measure your body snugly but not tight, or measure the garment laid flat (recommended when sharing product measurements). Convert flat measurements to circumference by multiplying by 2.

Quick conversion: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Always list both inches and cm on product pages when possible.

Materials — what it might be made of and why it matters

This style of cardigan is commonly made from single fibers or blends. Check the garment label for the exact fiber content. Typical fibers and their characteristics:

• Cotton — breathable, soft, comfortable; machine-washable but can shrink slightly if hot-washed. Good for everyday wear.
• Viscose / Rayon / Modal / Tencel — drapey and silky with good breathability; may wrinkle and benefit from gentle washing and reshaping while damp.
• Acrylic — lightweight, warm, resistant to wrinkles and shrinkage; can pill over time. Gentle wash recommended.
• Polyester / Nylon — durable and quick-drying; often blended to increase strength and shape retention.
• Wool / Merino / Cashmere — naturally insulating, warm and soft; often needs hand wash or professional cleaning and must be dried flat to avoid distortion.
• Elastane / Spandex — small % adds stretch and recovery for comfort and fit.

Blends are common (e.g., viscose + nylon + elastane). Blends combine benefits — drape, durability, stretch. Always list exact percentages on the product page and add specific care instructions based on the dominant fiber.

Model & fit (example and how to present it)

Provide clear model details so customers can judge fit. Suggested format to display:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small / S
• Model measurements (example): Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Fit: True to size / Relaxed / Oversized — indicate which so shoppers can pick accordingly.

Note: Replace the example values above with the actual model height, measurements and the size they are wearing for this specific product.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Read the label first: Always follow the garment care instructions on the sewn label as the primary guidance.
• Gentle washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Turn inside out before washing.
• Drying: Avoid tumble drying unless the care label permits. Gently press out excess water (do not wring) and lay flat to dry, reshaping to original dimensions.
• Ironing & steaming: Use low heat when ironing; a steamer is gentler and helps relax fibers without flattening texture.
• Storage: Fold knitwear rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretch. Store in a breathable container; use cedar or lavender to deter moths for natural fibres.
• Pilling: Remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; always test on a small inside area first.
• Professional care: For delicate fibers (cashmere, fine wools) or structured knits, consider professional cleaning when in doubt.

Style tips

• Button up for a neat top — add a pendant necklace to draw attention to the V-neck.
• Leave unbuttoned as a lightweight layer over tees, blouses or dresses for a casual, open-front look.
• Tuck the front into high-waisted jeans or a skirt for a modern, waist-defined silhouette.
• Layer a thin turtleneck underneath in cooler months for warmth and a chic, streamlined look.
• Give an oversized cardigan belt treatment by cinching at the waist to create a blazer-like shape.
• Pair with tailored trousers and loafers for a smart-casual office outfit, or with sneakers and leggings for relaxed weekends.

Tip for the product page: include exact fabric percentages, garment measurements (laid flat and converted), and the real model stats to reduce returns and increase shopper confidence.
