How to measure this cardigan

Use these steps to measure the garment flat or to measure your body so you can pick the right size.

Measure the garment (preferred for accuracy)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a hard surface, smooth out wrinkles but don't stretch the fabric.
2. Bust (Chest): Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If there is no defined shoulder seam, measure from the center back neck to the cuff and subtract the center-back-to-shoulder distance.
5. Center back length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neck) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
7. Pocket placement: Measure from the shoulder or top hem down to the top edge of the pocket to check pocket height.
8. Button band & opening: Measure the full front opening if you need chest clearance for layering items underneath.

Tip: For circumference measurements (bust, hem) always double your flat measurement. Record to the nearest 0.5 inch (or 1 cm).

Measure your body (to choose a size)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
2. Shoulder: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across to the tip of the other (for reference).
3. Sleeve: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist.
4. Torso length: Measure from the top of your shoulder (near the neck) down to where you want the hem to sit.

Fit guidance: For a fitted look choose a size with 0–2" (0–5 cm) positive ease at the bust. For a relaxed/oversized look allow 3–6" (8–15 cm) positive ease depending on desired drape and layering.

Materials & construction

Key features: V-neck, button-front closure, long sleeves, front patch pockets, ribbed cuffs and hem. Knit construction gives a soft stretch and comfortable recovery.

Typical fabric options for a cardigan like this (check the garment label for the exact composition):

• Classic cotton blend: e.g., 60% cotton / 40% polyester — breathable, durable, easy care.
• Soft acrylic blend: e.g., 70% acrylic / 25% nylon / 5% elastane — lightweight warmth, good color retention, stretchy.
• Viscose/nylon blends: e.g., 50% viscose / 30% polyester / 20% nylon — drapey, smooth hand, moderate warmth.
• Wool or wool-blend: e.g., 80% wool / 20% nylon — warm, slightly heavier, may require gentle care or dry clean.
• Luxury options: cashmere or cashmere blends for very soft hand and insulating properties (requires extra gentle care).

Buttons: typically resin or horn-effect buttons. Pockets: patch pockets sewn to the front body. Knit weight and stitch can vary between lightweight (layering) and midweight (standalone piece).

Always refer to the product tag or spec sheet for the exact fiber percentages and manufacturing details.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

General care rules that cover most fibers used in cardigans. Always prioritize the care label on your garment.

• Turn the cardigan inside out and fasten buttons before washing to protect the button placket and surface.
• Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water OR hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection if machine washing.
• Avoid bleach and strong detergents. Use a wool-safe or gentle detergent for wool, cashmere or blended knits.
• Do not wring. Gently press out excess water and reshape while damp.
• Dry flat on a towel away from direct heat and sunlight; avoid hanging wet cardigans to prevent shoulder stretch.
• If tumble drying is unavoidable, use the lowest/air setting only and remove promptly — but drying flat is recommended for best shape retention.
• For wool or cashmere: consider professional dry cleaning or hand wash with a wool formula and dry flat. Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver for pills.
• Ironing/steaming: use a low-heat iron on the reverse side or steam lightly to remove wrinkles; avoid direct high heat on synthetic fibers.
• Storage: fold and store flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Use breathable garment bags for seasonal storage and cedar or lavender sachets to deter pests.
• Spot clean spills immediately with a mild detergent, dab gently—not rub.

Style tips

• Casual: Wear unbuttoned over a fitted tee and high-rise jeans; cuff the sleeves and finish with white sneakers for an effortless look.
• Work-ready: Button up and layer over a slim blouse or lightweight turtleneck, pair with tailored trousers and loafers or low heels.
• Dressed-up: Use a thin belt at the natural waist to transform the cardigan into a polished top over a slip dress or pencil skirt.
• Layering: For colder days, layer a thin thermal or long-sleeve tee underneath—the V-neck makes it easy to show a collar or necklace.
• Proportions: Balance a slightly oversized cardigan with slim or straight-leg bottoms; a cropped cardigan complements high-waist skirts and trousers.
• Accessories: Long pendant necklaces and scarves work well with the V-neck. Swap buttons for a brooch or pin for a personal touch.
• Color pairings: Neutrals (beige, camel, navy, black) pair easily with denim and prints; brighter or pastel cardigans add a cheerful accent to neutral basics.
