The wide neckline’s position, sleeve length and hem placement will vary with your proportions. Check comfort through a gentle arm lift; the cropped hem will rise with movement.

Follow the garment’s care label for washing temperature and drying method.

As general knitwear care, avoid wringing or stretching the fabric, gently reshape after washing and support the garment while drying. Store folded and keep jewellery, hooks and rough fastenings away from the knit to reduce snagging.
