Long Sleeve Knit Bolero | White / One Size 100100740466220

How to measure — Long Sleeve Knit Bolero

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure the garment laid flat on a table (recommended) or measure your body and compare with the garment measurements. When measuring flat, multiply width measurements by 2 to get circumference.

1. Chest / Bust (garment): Lay the bolero flat, smooth out wrinkles, and measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that value to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (seam to seam).
3. Back length: Measure from the center back neckline (where the collar meets the neck) straight down to the hem.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For set-in sleeves you may also measure from center-back neck, across the shoulder to the cuff for a full shoulder-to-wrist length.
5. Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom hem and double the number for circumference.
6. Armhole depth: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam down to the underarm seam.

Body measuring tips: For the best fit measure around the fullest part of your bust, the narrowest point of your waist, and the fullest part of your hips. When comparing body measurements to garment measurements, allow some ease — knits usually need 2–6 cm (1–2.5") of positive ease for comfortable wear depending on the desired fit.

Materials & fabric information

Exact fiber composition for each item is shown on the sewn-in care label. Below are common materials and what to expect from them so you can better understand the feel and care of a knit bolero:

• Cotton: Natural, breathable, comfortable against skin. Tends to be slightly heavier and holds shape well after washing.
• Viscose / Modal: Soft, drapey and smooth with a slight sheen. Feels luxurious and breathable; often blended for good drape.
• Wool / Cashmere blends: Warm and insulating. Softer blends (cashmere) feel luxurious but usually require gentler care (hand wash or dry clean).
• Synthetic fibers (acrylic, polyester, polyamide/nylon): Durable, easy-care, colorfast and less prone to wrinkling. Often blended to increase strength and reduce shrinkage.
• Elastane / Spandex: Small percentages (1–5%) are commonly added for stretch and recovery so the bolero keeps shape.

Example composition (typical for a soft, drapey knit): 60–70% viscose, 25–35% polyamide/nylon, 3–5% elastane. This is an illustrative example — always refer to the garment label for the exact composition of the unit you purchase.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first. Follow the manufacturer’s symbols and instructions.
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle inside-out using a mild detergent. Use a mesh wash bag to reduce friction.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the bolero while damp and lay flat to dry on a towel away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Ironing & steaming: If needed, iron inside-out on low heat or use a garment steamer. Avoid stretching while hot.
• Pilling: Remove pills carefully with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Turn garment inside-out before washing to minimize abrasion.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly with mild soap and cold water. Avoid bleach and harsh solvents unless label permits dry cleaning.
• Storage: Fold knits instead of hanging to prevent shoulder distortion. For long-term storage, keep in a cool, dry place; use cedar or lavender sachets for natural moth deterrence.
• Professional care: For delicate fibers like cashmere or specialty wool blends, consider professional dry cleaning when recommended on the label.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer your bolero over a fitted tee or tank with high-rise jeans and sneakers for an easy, relaxed outfit.
• Workwear: Wear over a sleeveless blouse or sheath dress. Pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and low heels for a polished look.
• Evening: Throw the bolero over a slip dress or strapless top and add statement jewelry and heels for a soft, elegant finish.
• Belted: Add a narrow belt or a vintage brooch at the waist to convert the bolero into a cropped, structured layer that emphasizes your silhouette.
• Mix textures: Contrast the knit with silk, satin, leather or denim to add visual interest (e.g., knit + silk camisole, or knit + leather skirt).
• Play with proportions: Because a bolero is short, balance it with high-waisted bottoms or longer-line dresses/tops underneath.
• Season transition: Use a lightweight knit bolero on cool summer evenings; choose midweight or blended knits for autumn layering under coats.
