Plus Size Printed Long Sleeve Cardigan | Cream / XL 100100008892399

How to measure

Use either your body measurements to pick a size or measure a similar garment you already own. For accuracy, measure with a soft tape measure, keep the tape level and snug (not tight), and record both inches and centimeters.

Measure your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape level under your arms and across your back. Wear a bra you would normally use with the cardigan.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
• Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam would sit) down to the wrist.
• Torso/Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (at the neck) straight down to where you want the cardigan to end.

Measure the garment (laid flat)

• Chest (half): Lay the cardigan flat, smooth out wrinkles, measure armpit seam to armpit and double that number for full chest circumference.
• Shoulder (seam to seam): Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Back length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width (half): Measure across the bottom hem and double for full hem circumference.

Tip: For a relaxed cardigan fit, compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow about 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) of ease at the bust and hips depending on how roomy you prefer the fit. If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort and layering.

Materials

Printed long-sleeve cardigans commonly use knit blends chosen for print clarity, drape and stretch. Typical fabrics and what to expect from them:

• Polyester blends (e.g., 95% polyester + 5% spandex/elastane): Excellent for bright, long-lasting prints, wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying and holds shape well. Added elastane gives comfortable stretch and recovery.
• Viscose/Rayon blends: Very soft with a fluid drape and a smooth hand; great for a dressier look but may require gentler washing.
• Cotton blends: Breathable and natural-feeling; may shrink a bit if not pre-shrunk. Often blended with synthetics for improved drape and reduced wrinkling.
• Acrylic/nylon blends: Lightweight and warm with good shape retention; can mimic wool-like textures without heavy weight.
• Elastane/Spandex (small %): Added to most knit cardigans to provide stretch and comfort across shoulders and sleeves.

Fabric properties to note: printed cardigans often favor polyester-based blends for sharp prints and durability; blends with elastane offer better fit and recovery. Always check the actual product label or the product details on the page for the exact fiber content of this specific cardigan.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle or hand wash to preserve print and color.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing and wash with like colors to reduce abrasion on the print.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and use fabric softener sparingly (softener can reduce the life of stretch fibers over time).
• Do not soak printed garments for long periods; avoid chlorinated bleach which can damage color and fibers.
• Air-dry flat when possible to preserve shape. If using a dryer, tumble dry low and remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
• If ironing is needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side or use a cloth between iron and fabric; avoid high heat especially on synthetic blends.
• To maintain shape, fold heavier knits rather than hanging them; for lightweight cardigans, hanging is fine on a wide shoulder hanger.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or comb to keep the surface smooth.

Style Tips

• Wear open over a fitted tee or camisole and high-waisted jeans for a balanced silhouette.
• Belt the cardigan at the waist to create definition and a polished look—ideal for dresses or flowy tops underneath.
• Layer over a sheath dress or tailored blouse and trousers for an office-friendly ensemble.
• Pair printed cardigans with neutral basics (black, white, beige, denim) to let the print stand out.
• For lengthening, choose slim or tapered bottoms and a longer-line cardigan—add a long pendant necklace to create vertical lines.
• Casual travel tip: lightweight printed cardigans are perfect for planes—they add warmth, are easy to layer, and won’t show minor creasing after rolling in a suitcase.
