Reindeer & Snowflake Pattern Dropped Shoulder Pullover Sweater | Orange / S 100100789595120

How to Measure

Lay the sweater flat on a table, smooth gently without stretching, and use a soft tape measure.

1. Chest/Bust: Measure straight across the front from underarm to underarm, about 2.5 cm (1 in) below the armhole. Double this number for the full chest.
2. Body Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam meets the collar) straight down to the hem.
3. Shoulder Width (dropped shoulder): Measure across the back from the top of one sleeve seam to the other. For very dropped shoulders, prioritize the chest and length as fit references.
4. Sleeve Length (two accepted methods for dropped shoulders):
   • Center-back method (recommended): From the center back neck, measure across the shoulder and down along the top of the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
   • Seam method: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If you want total arm coverage, add the vertical “shoulder drop” from the natural shoulder to the seam.
5. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for the full hem circumference.
6. Cuff Opening and Rib Heights: Measure the cuff opening across; note the height of the cuff and hem ribs for reference.

Tip: Compare these measurements to a sweater you already love for the best fit. Knit garments may vary by ±1–3 cm due to the nature of the fabric and manual measuring.

Materials & What to Expect

The exact fiber content can vary by production. Please check the product details or garment tag for the precise composition. Holiday sweaters with reindeer and snowflake motifs commonly use:

• Acrylic or acrylic blends: soft, warm, easy care; can pill with friction over time.
• Polyester/nylon (polyamide): adds strength, durability, and helps the sweater keep its shape.
• Cotton or cotton blends: breathable with a slightly heavier drape and matte look.
• Wool or wool blends (e.g., lambswool, merino): excellent warmth and resilience; needs gentler care.
• Elastane/spandex (small percentage): helps rib trims recover and hold shape.

Pattern note: Seasonal motifs like reindeer and snowflakes are often knitted in (jacquard/intarsia), resulting in a cozy, textured look and a soft hand-feel inside. Handle with care to avoid catching the inner floats.

Model & Fit Information

• Intended Fit: Relaxed and cozy with dropped shoulders for an easy, slouchy silhouette.
• Coverage: Typically hip-length on most heights; actual coverage varies by size and body proportions.
• Size Advice: Choose your usual size for a comfortably relaxed look. Size up for extra slouch or layering over thicker tops. Size down if you prefer a closer fit.
• At-Home Fit Check: Measure a favorite sweater using the method above and compare to the size chart to select the closest match.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Always read the care label first for fiber-specific instructions.
2. Turn inside out before washing to protect the knit and motif.
3. Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag with mild detergent.
4. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners; they can weaken fibers and increase pilling.
5. Reshape while damp and dry flat on a clean towel; do not hang when wet.
6. Avoid tumble drying unless the care label explicitly permits it; if permitted, use low heat and remove promptly.
7. Use a cool iron or gentle steam on the reverse side with a pressing cloth if needed.
8. De-pill using a sweater comb or fabric shaver. If a snag occurs, pull the loop gently to the inside and secure—do not tug from the outside.
9. Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf; prolonged hanging can stretch the shoulders.
10. Be mindful of rough surfaces and jewelry, which can catch on the knit (especially with jacquard interiors).

Fiber-specific tips:

• Wool/wool blends: Use wool-safe detergent; avoid wringing and sudden temperature changes; always dry flat.
• Acrylic/cotton blends: Wash cold; air-dry flat to reduce stretching and pilling.

Style Tips

• Weekend Cozy: Pair with straight-leg denim, lace-up boots, and a beanie for a classic winter look.
• Layered Warmth: Add a slim turtleneck or thermal top underneath; let the collar and cuffs peek out.
• Skirt Combo: Half-tuck into a midi skirt (satin, corduroy, or wool) with tights and ankle boots.
• Office Casual: Balance the playful pattern with tailored trousers and loafers or heeled ankle boots.
• Elevated Finish: Cinch at the waist with a belt and top with a structured coat; keep accessories minimal to let the pattern stand out.
• Relaxed at Home: Wear with leggings and chunky socks; size up for an ultra-cozy, slouchy vibe.
• Color Coordination: Echo the motif’s colors in your scarf, hat, or bag for a cohesive outfit.
