White and Black Bohemian Crochet Kimono Cardigan with Fringe Hem — Measurements & Fit

How to measure the garment (flat-lay)

Tools: soft measuring tape, flat surface, a notebook. Lay the kimono flat and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the crochet.

1. Bust / Chest (pit-to-pit): Measure straight across the front from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply this number by 2 to get the chest circumference.
2. Center back length: Measure from the center back at the base of the neckline down to the main hem (exclude fringe if you want body length only).
3. Total length (including fringe): Measure from center back neckline down to the end of the fringe.
4. Sleeve length: For a kimono sleeve, measure from the shoulder seam (or where the sleeve joins the body) to the sleeve hem.
5. Sleeve opening width: Measure the sleeve cuff/opening flat across, then multiply by 2 for the circumference.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem laid flat, then multiply by 2 for the hem circumference.
7. Fringe length: Measure from the main fabric hem to the tip of the fringe.

How to measure your body to match the kimono

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, tape parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder/back width: Measure across the upper back from shoulder point to shoulder point.
• Upper arm: Measure around the widest part of your upper arm to check sleeve fit.
• Desired length: Measure from the nape of your neck (or the point you want the kimono to sit) down to where you want the hem to fall.

Tip: Because this is an open-front, loose-fitting kimono, width (pit-to-pit) affects drape more than a closed garment’s chest measurement. If you’re deciding between fits, compare the flat-lay measurements above to your body measurements plus desired ease.

Materials & construction

This bohemian crochet kimono is an open‑work crochet knit with a decorative fringe hem in contrasting white and black. Crochet cardigans like this are commonly made from one of the following fibers or blends — check the garment label for exact fiber content:

• 100% cotton: Natural, breathable and comfortable. Soft hand and good structure; may shrink slightly if washed in warm water.
• Acrylic or acrylic blends: Lightweight, durable and easy-care; resists excessive shrinking but may pill over time.
• Rayon/viscose or modal blends: Very drapey and soft with a fluid fall; often requires gentler washing to avoid stretching or color bleed.
• Polyester blends: Resilient and low-wrinkle; colorfast and easy to care for.

Fringe may be made from the same yarn as the body or a coordinating fiber — the label will list specifics. Because of the black/white contrast, colorfastness matters: if unsure, test a small hidden area or wash separately at first.

Model information (reference)

For photography reference: model is 5'9" (175–176 cm) with approximate measurements 34" bust / 24" waist / 35" hips and is pictured wearing this kimono for a relaxed, open fit. Use the garment flat-lay numbers above to judge coverage and drape as needed.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Read the label first: Always follow the care symbols and fiber-specific guidance on the garment tag.
• Hand wash recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid twisting or wringing the crochet.
• Machine wash (if permitted): Turn inside out, place in a mesh laundry bag, use cold water and the delicate/gentle cycle. Remove promptly.
• Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals: Bleach can damage fibers and remove black dyes from the white areas.
• Dry flat: Gently press excess water out with a towel and lay the kimono flat to dry on a clean surface, reshaping the body and fringe. Do not hang wet — hanging can stretch the crochet out of shape.
• Fringe care: To reduce tangling, lightly comb fringe with fingers or a wide-tooth comb while damp and let dry flat. Tie fringe loosely with tissue or soft ties during washing to keep it straight.
• Iron/steam: If needed, steam gently or use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth on the wrong side; avoid direct high heat on delicate yarns.
• Storage: Fold and store flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term hanging to prevent stretching; if you must hang, use a wide padded hanger and fold the shoulders slightly to reduce strain.
• Snags and pulls: Gently pull a snag through to the inside with a crochet hook or needle; do not cut loops. For persistent issues consider professional repair.
• Professional care: For delicate fibers or heavy embellishment, professional dry cleaning is a safe option.

Style tips

• Beach cover-up: Wear over your swimsuit with denim shorts and leather sandals for an effortless beach-to-street look.
• Casual summer: Layer over a simple tank or crop top and high‑waisted shorts or jeans. Add layered necklaces and flat sandals for a boho vibe.
• Festival-ready: Pair with a bralette, distressed shorts, ankle boots and a floppy hat. Accessorize with stacked bracelets and a fringe bag.
• Dress it up: Throw it over a slip dress and cinch at the waist with a slim belt to create a defined silhouette for evenings out.
• Work-appropriate: Combine with a fitted tee, tailored trousers and minimalist mules — the kimono adds interest while keeping the overall look polished.
• Color pairing: Black & white pairs cleanly with neutrals (tan, olive, navy) or with bright accents like mustard, teal or coral for a bold pop.
• Accessory ideas: Long pendant necklaces, stacked rings and a wide-brim hat complement the bohemian feel; a slim leather belt adds shape when desired.
• Multiway wear: Use as a shawl by folding lengthwise, or tie the front to wear as a cropped top for an alternative silhouette.

Quick reference: Hand wash cold or delicate cycle in a mesh bag, dry flat, avoid hanging wet, comb fringe while damp, and check the garment label for exact fiber care.
