FAQs
What size should I order?
The Roman Shimmer V-Neck Ribbed Cardigan is designed to be 'True to size' with a 'Regular fit'. We recommend ordering your usual dress size.
Is this cardigan suitable for warm weather?
No, this cardigan is designed to be a warm layering piece for 'Autumn Winter'. The blend of wool and alpaca makes it ideal for cooler temperatures.
How do I wash this cardigan?
This cardigan is 'Machine Washable'. Always use a delicate or cool cycle with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry; instead, lay flat to dry to maintain its shape and quality.
What is the material composition of the cardigan?
The cardigan is made from 41% Polyamide, 40% Polyester, 9% Wool, 7% Alpaca, 2% Elastane, and 1% Metallised Fibre.
Will the shimmer detail last after washing?
Yes, if cared for correctly. Follow the 'Machine Washable' instructions, use mild detergents, and iron on the reverse side with low heat to protect the metallised fibres.
Can I wear this cardigan for formal occasions?
This cardigan is primarily designed for a 'trendy day look' and is best suited for casual to semi-casual settings. Its shimmer adds a nice touch but may not be formal enough for very strict dress codes.
Troubleshooting
Shimmer detail appears dull or faded
Ensure you are washing the garment on a delicate cycle with mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals. Ironing on the reverse side with low heat can also help protect the metallised fibres.
Fabric has pilled or bobbled
Pilling can occur with natural fibres like wool and alpaca. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a de-pilling comb. To minimize future pilling, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive friction during wear.
Cardigan has shrunk or stretched out of shape
Always wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying or hanging a wet cardigan, as these can cause shrinkage or stretching due to the fibre content.
Garment feels itchy
While described as 'soft hand-touch', some individuals might be sensitive to wool or alpaca. Try washing the cardigan with a fabric softener. If irritation persists, consider wearing a long-sleeved base layer underneath.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity of your Roman Shimmer V-Neck Ribbed Cardigan, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Washable: Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific temperature recommendations, typically a cool or delicate cycle.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleaches that could damage the delicate fibres or dull the shimmer.
- Wash with Similar Colours: To prevent colour transfer.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Lay flat to dry on a clean surface or hang carefully to maintain shape and prevent stretching. High heat can damage the elastane and metallised fibres.
- Cool Iron if Needed: If ironing is required, use a low temperature setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the shimmer detail.
- Store Folded: Avoid hanging for extended periods if the garment is heavy, as this can cause stretching due to the wool and alpaca content. Fold neatly in a drawer or on a shelf.
