FEATURES: beautiful crochet Grandma's Flower Garden motif in a bright grass-green base, cardigan front, extra wide sleeves
(If you'd like the sleeves cinched at the cuff, simply reply to your order confirmation email immediately after purchase-just know this will shorten them a bit)
WEIGHT/STRUCTURE: medium-heavy weight, dense
FABRIC CONTENT: unknown for sure, likely acrylic
OTHER NOTES: Someone used fabric softener with this one and there is some residue that may take a few more washes to remove. Strong laundry scent because of this. Overall pilling from past repeated washing. The seams at the shoulder are a bit thick because if the density of this piece... in my experience, the more it's worn or hanging on a hanger, the better it drapes. Just noting this in case it would bug you to adjust the shoulders/sleeves when you first put it on. It will work best on a smaller body.
SIZE: The following measurements are listed in inches and are taken with garment flat so please double the number where appropriate (waist, chest, sleeve width, etc) in order to get full circumference. I try my best to be accurate but please allow a little room for error.
Armpit to armpit/body width 20"
Total armspan 56"
Total top to bottom 20-23" (scalloped edges)
Shoulders free
FIT NOTES: These are designed to be boxy, slouchy, oversized, fits like a kimono so it should be loose. I generally recommend they be at least 6 inches bigger than your chest measures. It will be a closer fit on a bigger body and more oversized on a smaller body. Modeled on a 38-30-40" 5'5" US M/L body. This one would likely be much better for XS/S. Please measure your own clothes/body and compare to the numbers above to ensure a fit that works for you.
CARE: Cool, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on air. (Do not hang.)
