FAQs

What is the 'Macaroni' fabric?

Macaroni fabric is a unique, textured knit developed by Weird Fish. It's known for its comfort, durability, and distinctive feel that has been a signature of the brand for over 30 years.

How does the oversized fit typically feel?

The oversized fit is intentionally relaxed and roomy, offering a draped silhouette. It is designed to be comfortable and easy to layer, providing a contemporary, laid-back style.

Is this cardigan suitable for formal occasions?

This cardigan is primarily designed as a casual layering piece. While its elegant drape can add a touch of style, its textured fabric and oversized fit lean towards more relaxed, everyday wear rather than formal events.

What can I wear underneath the kimono cardigan?

It pairs well with a variety of tops, including t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, blouses, or even dresses. The relaxed fit accommodates different styles underneath.

How do I know if the size 12 is right for me, given the oversized fit?

The size 12 is a standard UK women's dress size. Given the oversized and swing-style cut, it will naturally be roomy. If you prefer a less voluminous look, consider if sizing down might be an option, but be aware it will also shorten the length.

Can this cardigan be worn in warmer weather?

While it provides warmth, the weight of the Macaroni fabric makes it best suited for cooler or transitional weather. It might be too warm for high temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners which can sometimes affect the texture of the Macaroni fabric. Air dry completely.

Cardigan seems to have stretched out

This can sometimes happen with knitwear. Try laying the cardigan flat to air dry. If significant stretching has occurred, a gentle steam with a cool iron might help reshape it slightly, but avoid direct heat.

Color fading on stripes

Wash inside out in cold water to preserve color. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
