FAQs
Is the shimmer noticeable, or is it very subtle?
The Shimmer V-Neck Ribbed Cardigan features a shimmer edge detail, which provides a subtle and elegant sparkle rather than an overtly glittery appearance. It's designed to add a touch of sophistication.
What is the approximate length of the cardigan?
The cardigan has an approximate length of 60cm, which typically falls around the hip area on most individuals, offering good coverage without being overly long.
Can I wear this cardigan in warmer weather?
While its material blend (including wool and alpaca) is designed for Autumn/Winter warmth, it can be suitable for cooler spring or summer evenings, especially in air-conditioned environments, due to its layering versatility.
How do I ensure the softness of the cardigan lasts?
To maintain the soft hand touch, follow the care instructions: machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid harsh chemicals, and dry flat or on a very low tumble dry setting.
Is the cardigan true to its advertised size?
Yes, the Shimmer V-Neck Ribbed Cardigan is described as having a regular fit and being true to size. We recommend consulting the brand's size chart for precise measurements if you are unsure.
Can this cardigan be worn for formal occasions?
This cardigan is primarily designed for casual and smart-casual wear. While the shimmer adds elegance, its ribbed knit and overall style are best suited for relaxed social gatherings, everyday wear, or an elevated casual office look rather than formal events.
Troubleshooting
Shimmer appears to be fading or shedding.
The shimmer is an integrated detail. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive friction during wear or washing. Avoid rubbing the shimmer vigorously.
Cardigan feels slightly itchy, despite the soft touch.
While designed for comfort, some individuals might be more sensitive to wool or alpaca. Wearing a thin, long-sleeved top underneath can provide an extra barrier for sensitive skin.
Pilling (small balls of fabric) are forming on the surface.
Pilling can occur with natural fibre blends due to friction. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzing comb. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle can also help minimize pilling.
Cardigan seems to have shrunk or stretched after washing.
Always follow the machine washable instructions, specifically laying flat to dry or using a low tumble dry. High heat can cause shrinkage, while hanging when wet can cause stretching. Reshape gently while damp.
Buttons are loose or have fallen off.
Regularly check the button stitching. If a button is loose, reinforce it with needle and thread. If it has fallen off, reattach it securely.
