Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?

No. It is a lightweight silk-blend knit made for layering in mild weather. In cold months it works best under a coat or blazer.

How does the silk blend feel compared with a cotton cardigan?

Softer and smoother, with a slight sheen from the silk. It drapes more than a cotton knit but is less sturdy and needs gentler handling.

Dry cleaning is preferred. The silk content makes machine washing risky for the shape and finish.

About 19.5 inches from shoulder to hem, so it lands around the high hip. That pairs well with high-waisted trousers and skirts.

No. It is a plain button-front cardigan with a ribbed crewneck, long sleeves and contrast trim.

It is a midnight polka dot with contrast trim, so the dots read clearly against the dark ground rather than blending in.
