- What is a shaker stitch?
- It is a knitted stitch with raised vertical ridges, similar to a thick rib. It looks textured and traps warmth, but it is heavier and bulkier than a plain jersey knit.
- How does the sizing run?
- Woman Within cuts for a relaxed fit, and shaker knits do not stretch much. Shoppers between sizes often size down for a closer fit or stay true to size for layering.
- Can it be worn closed as a top?
- Yes. The full button placket means it works buttoned up as a standalone knit or open over a shirt. The bulky stitch makes it warm enough for indoor wear on its own.
- How should I care for it?
- Shaker knits hold shape best when washed cold and dried flat. Hanging a heavy knit can stretch the shoulders, so fold it for storage.
- Is it warm enough for winter?
- It works as a mid-layer indoors or under a coat. The loose knit lets wind through, so it is not a substitute for a dense wool sweater outdoors.
- Where is the Woman Within Plus Size Women's Shaker Button-Front Cardigan Sweater cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $57.99, as of our latest check.
