How does this cardigan fit compared with a regular cardigan?

Lane Bryant describes it as a classic fit designed for curves: not too tight, not too loose. The front body measures 29.5 inches from the shoulder on a size 18, which is a standard length that hits around the hip.

What is the difference between this and a long-sleeve cardigan?

The sleeve is short, so it works as a warm-weather layer and under a sleeveless top. A long-sleeve knit gives more warmth but adds bulk under a jacket.

Can I wear it over a collared shirt?

The crew neck sits close to the collarbone, so a collared shirt will show at the neck but may feel crowded. It layers more cleanly over a scoop or V-neck top.

Is the button front functional?

The cardigan has a button-front design, so it can be worn closed or open as a layer. The ribbed trim runs along the front opening, cuffs and hem.

What is it made of and how should I care for it?

It is a sweater knit, so treat it like other knits: wash gently and dry flat to keep the ribbed trim and shape. Avoid hanging it, which stretches knit shoulders.

Does it work for year-round wear?

The short sleeve and mid-weight knit suit spring, fall and air-conditioned rooms. In deep winter it works indoors but not as an outer layer.
