FAQs

What material is the School Girl Cardigan made from?

The cardigan is crafted from a special yarn blend, described as having a soft, plush hand feel and a halo-like texture.

How should I wash this cardigan?

It is recommended to hand wash cold or use a delicate cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Lay flat to dry.

Is this cardigan suitable for colder weather?

While comfortable and soft, it is primarily a layering piece and offers moderate warmth, best suited for transitional weather or indoor wear.

Can I hang this cardigan in my closet?

It is best to fold and store the cardigan to prevent stretching and maintain its shape, as hanging heavy knits can cause them to lose their form over time.

What does 'halo-like texture' mean?

This refers to a subtle, soft, almost luminous texture created by the specific yarn used in the cardigan's construction.

Does the cardigan run true to size?

The cardigan features a relaxed knit silhouette, suggesting a comfortable, non-restrictive fit. For precise measurements, refer to the brand's sizing chart.

What is the best way to style this cardigan?

It can be styled casually with jeans and a t-shirt, or dressed up over a blouse or camisole with tailored pants or a skirt.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels too bulky under other layers

Opt for lighter weight tops underneath or wear the cardigan open instead of buttoned.

Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric surface

Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or fine-tooth comb. Consider hand washing in cold water with minimal agitation to prevent future pilling.

Cardigan has lost its shape after washing

Ensure you are laying the cardigan flat to dry and avoiding any hanging or stretching while wet. Reshape gently while damp and allow to air dry completely.

Ribbed waistline feels too tight

Gently stretch the ribbed area while the garment is damp or consider wearing the cardigan open to alleviate pressure.
