Openwork V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. For body measurements stand straight, relax your arms at your sides and measure over light clothing. For garment measurements lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface and measure straight across; double flat widths to get the full circumference.

Measure your body (to choose a size)

1. Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level with the floor. Breathe normally and record the measurement.
2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist (usually above the belly button).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from the bony point at the top of one shoulder to the bony point at the top of the other shoulder across the back.
5. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder point (where the shoulder seam sits) down to the wrist bone with the arm slightly bent.
6. Torso / back length: Measure from the prominent bone at the base of the neck (center back) down to where you would like the cardigan to end.

Measure the garment (laid flat)

1. Chest (laid flat): Measure from side seam to side seam about 1 cm (1/2") below the armholes, then double that number for the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
4. Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck seam) down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam and double to get the full circumference.

Tips: Allow 1–3 cm (0.5–1") ease for a fitted look and 4–8 cm (1.5–3") or more for layering. Knits have stretch—compare your body measurement with the garment measurement and consider fabric stretch when selecting size.

Materials & fabric details

This style is an openwork (lace-like) knit that gives a lightweight, breathable texture with visible stitch detail. Exact fiber composition varies by production batch—always check the product label or composition panel for precise percentages.

• Common fiber blends: cotton blends (soft, breathable), viscose/rayon blends (drapey, silky hand), acrylic/polyester blends (lightweight, easy care), and small amounts of nylon or elastane for strength and recovery.
• What to expect: openwork knit is slightly sheer—layering is recommended; it drapes softly and has moderate stretch; some blends can pill slightly with wear.
• Sustainability note: blends with natural fibers like cotton or viscose tend to be more breathable; recycled polyester/nylon options reduce new resource use—see the product tag if sustainability info is provided.

Exact composition example (for reference only): 55% viscose, 30% polyester, 15% nylon. Replace with the label composition for the actual item.

Model information

Model shown is 177 cm (5'10") and wears size S. Model measurements: bust 81 cm / waist 61 cm / hips 89 cm. On the model the cardigan appears slightly relaxed—if you prefer a closer fit select your usual size; if you plan to layer a thicker top underneath, consider sizing up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the label first: Always check the garment care label and follow its guidance when provided.
• Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle in cold water. Turn the cardigan inside out and place it in a mesh wash bag to protect the openwork.
• Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent. Do not use bleach.
• Drying: Gently press out excess water—do not wring. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshaping the garment while damp. Avoid hanging wet knits to prevent shoulder stretch. Do not tumble dry.
• Ironing / steaming: Use low heat or steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing, place a cloth between the iron and the knit to protect the openwork.
• Storage: Fold and store flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging knits for long periods. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Snags & pilling: Repair snags promptly by gently pulling the loop to the inside or using a needle. Remove pills with a fabric shaver or pill comb carefully.
• Professional care: Consider professional cleaning for delicate blends or if the label recommends dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Layer it open over a fitted camisole or tee with high‑waisted jeans for a relaxed everyday look.
• Belt the cardigan at the waist over a dress to create a defined silhouette and emphasize the V-neck.
• For office-friendly styling, add a silk blouse underneath and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt.
• Wear a thin turtleneck beneath for cooler days so the openwork texture still shows.
• Keep accessories delicate—simple chains, studs or small hoops complement the V-neck without overwhelming the knit pattern.
• Avoid heavy shoulder bags that can stretch the fabric; a crossbody or clutch is a better match for openwork knits.
