Features:Buttoned Stretch:Slightly stretchy Material composition:100% polyester Care instructions:Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Imported Openwork V‑Neck Cardigan — Product Details Use the guidance below to measure the garment, understand typical materials, check fit on a model, follow care instructions, and get styling ideas. How to measure Measure the garment (lay flat) Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface, fasten any buttons if present, smooth out wrinkles without stretching the knit. Chest / Bust: Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other (armpit to armpit). Double that number to get full chest circumference. Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder seam to the other across the back. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff along the outer edge. For drop-shoulder styles, measure from the armhole seam to the cuff. Front length: Measure from the highest shoulder point (where the shoulder seam meets the neckline) down to the hem at the front. Back length: Measure from the centre back at the base of the collar down to the hem. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double to get full hem circumference. Cuff width: Measure across the cuff and double to get the cuff circumference. Armhole (optional): Measure the depth of the armhole (top to bottom) and double to estimate armhole circumference. Tip: Record measurements in cm and inches. When comparing to your body, allow ease for layering: approx. 4–8 cm (1.5–3") for a close fit, 8–15 cm (3–6") for a relaxed/oversized look depending on knit and stretch. Measure your body (for best fit) Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with a bra you’ll wear with the cardigan. Shoulder: Measure across the back from shoulder point to shoulder point. Sleeve: From shoulder point to wrist with arm slightly bent. Torso length: From the high shoulder point down to where you want the cardigan to sit. Materials & Fabric Details Openwork V‑neck cardigans are made in an openwork (eyelet/lace-like) knit that gives a lightweight, breathable texture. Exact fibre composition varies by item—check the sewn label or product listing for percentages. Below are common fibres and what to expect from each: Cotton: Breathable, soft, good for warm weather; usually machine-washable but avoid hot drying to prevent shrinkage. Viscose / Rayon / Modal: Very soft with a fluid drape; can be delicate—prefer gentle washing and flat drying. Wool / Merino: Warm with natural elasticity; often needs gentle washing or hand wash and flat drying to keep shape. Acrylic / Polyester / Nylon: Durable and shape-retaining; more resistant to wrinkling but may pill over time. Linen: Cool and breathable, naturally textured; tends to crease but softens with wear. Silk: Luxurious drape and sheen; often requires hand wash or dry clean. Note: Openwork knits can appear more open or relaxed than solid knits; fiber blends affect stretch, drape, warmth and care. Always rely on the product’s stated composition for exact care and fit expectations. Model & Fit Reference styling shown on product imagery: Typical model reference: Height ~175–178 cm (5'9"–5'10"), wearing a sample size S. Fit description: Relaxed through the body with breathable openwork texture; designed to layer over tees, tanks or lightweight tops. Size guidance: If you prefer a close fit, choose your usual size or size down. For thicker layering or an oversized look, choose one size up. If precise model measurements are required for the page, replace the reference values with the exact model height, bust/waist/hip measurements and the sample size shown. Care Guide — To keep it lovely longer Always check the sewn care label first. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on gentle/delicate cycle using cold water (≤30°C / 86°F). Turn the cardigan inside out and place in a mesh laundry bag for machine washes. Detergent: Use a mild detergent formulated for delicates or knitwear. Avoid bleach. Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a drying rack or towel. Do not hang when wet—this can stretch the shoulders. Tumble drying: Avoid tumble drying; it can distort knit and shrink natural fibres. Ironing / Steaming: Use low heat. Prefer steaming to preserve the openwork texture; place a cloth between iron and fabric if ironing is necessary. Pilling & snags: Remove pills gently with a fabric comb or shaver. For snags, push the loop to the inside and gently secure rather than cutting. Storage: Fold and store in a drawer or on a shelf. Use padded hangers only if necessary. Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to protect natural fibres from moths. Style Tips Layer over a fitted camisole, tank or a lightweight blouse to let the openwork pattern show without overexposure. Casual: pair with high-waisted jeans and sneakers or loafers for an easy everyday look. Office: wear over a silk blouse with tailored trousers and loafers; add a slim belt to define the waist for a polished silhouette. Evening: button up and add a statement belt, slip skirt and heels for a dressier ensemble. Seasonal: use as a light cover in spring/summer or as a layering piece under a coat in cooler months. Accessories: long pendants and layered necklaces complement the V‑neck; delicate rings and bracelets pair well with the openwork texture.
