Floral Ribbed Trim Drop Shoulder Cardigan

How to measure

Use these steps to compare your body measurements to the garment or to measure the cardigan itself when laid flat. Always measure with a soft tape measure and keep it level around the body.

Measuring your body

• Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust/chest with arms relaxed at your sides. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (usually just above the belly button).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips / seat, about 20–25 cm (8–10 in) below the waist depending on height.
• Arm length: From the shoulder point (where a sleeve seam would sit) down to the wrist with the arm slightly bent.
• Shoulder width: From one shoulder point to the other across the back.

Measuring the cardigan (laid flat)

• Chest / Bust (flat): Lay the cardigan flat, smooth but don’t stretch. Measure straight across 1–2 cm (½ in) below the armholes from side seam to side seam and multiply by two for full circumference.
• Shoulder (seam to seam): Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. For drop-shoulder styles, this will show the lower seam placement and how relaxed the fit is.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (or from the center back neck for total sleeve length) down to the cuff.
• Body length: From the high point of shoulder (base of neck) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by two for the full circumference.

Fit tip: This drop-shoulder cardigan is designed for a relaxed silhouette. For a comfortably loose fit, allow approx. 5–10 cm (2–4 in) of positive ease at the bust. If you prefer a more fitted look, choose the next size down.

Materials

Floral Ribbed Trim Drop Shoulder Cardigans are typically crafted from a soft knit blend designed to combine drape, comfort and shape retention. Exact composition can vary by colour and season—please check the garment label for the definitive fiber content.

Main fabric (typical)

Viscose / rayon blend with polyamide (nylon) for strength and a small percentage of elastane for stretch and recovery. This mix gives a soft hand, good drape and comfortable wear.

Ribbed floral trim

A firmer rib knit, often blended with a touch of elastane to keep the trim springy and shaped. The floral detail is typically a jacquard or intarsia knit integrated into the edge.

Construction

Unlined, fully fashioned knit with drop shoulder seams for a relaxed fit and easy layering.

Why these fibers? Viscose gives softness and flattering drape, polyamide increases durability and resilience, and elastane adds comfortable stretch at cuffs and trim.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the garment label for the exact care symbols. When in doubt, treat as a delicate knit.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the floral trim and surface fibers.
• Use a mesh wash bag if machine washing to reduce friction and snagging.
• Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a clean towel to maintain shape and avoid shoulder stretching.
• Iron sparingly on low heat if required—use a pressing cloth and avoid direct heat on the ribbed trim. Steam is often safer for removing wrinkles.
• To remove pills, use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb carefully—do not pull at bobbles.
• Store folded rather than hanging to prevent shoulder distortion; if you must hang, use wide, padded hangers and avoid long-term storage on a hanger.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer over a plain tee or fitted tank and pair with high-rise jeans and white trainers for an easy, fresh look.
• Work-ready: Wear over a lightweight blouse and tailored trousers; tuck the front into the waistband or add a slim belt to define the waist.
• Dressy / evening: Throw over a slip dress or satin cami; keep accessories elegant—delicate necklaces and simple heeled boots or sandals complete the outfit.
• Play with proportions: Because the cardigan has a relaxed, slightly boxy shape, balance it with slim bottoms (skinny jeans, cigarette trousers, or a pencil skirt).
• Colour coordination: Pick a shade from the floral trim and use it as an accent—scarf, bag or shoes—to tie the look together.
• Layering tip: For added warmth and structure, wear a thin turtleneck or long-sleeve top underneath; the drop shoulder keeps the silhouette soft and contemporary.
