Japanese Linen Pleated Cardigan Top with Elasticated Cuffs

🔺 The featured piece is crafted from 100% Japanese linen. Its medium weight makes it suitable for wearing on its own. The linen is sourced from Europe, hand-dyed in Japan, and naturally sun-dried. The fabric itself possesses a natural textured feel. For color options beyond the displayed shade, please inquire with the designer. This fabric is made-to-order and not kept in stock. Please allow approximately 30 working days for material sourcing and creation. Kindly order only if this timeframe is acceptable. The fabric selection, pattern drafting, and sewing are all meticulously handled by the designer. 🔺 A cardigan-style top featuring a placket design. Beneath the curved seams at the bust and shoulder lines, fine pleats are meticulously crafted all around. These pleats naturally unfurl, creating a beautifully draped silhouette. The cuffs are elasticated, allowing them to gather gently. This imparts a charming aesthetic. Originally designed as a front-opening cardigan, it has been found to be equally stylish when worn reversed. This offers flexibility based on personal preference. A gentle note: The pleats will naturally expand, approximately doubling the garment's width below them. The overall silhouette is relaxed and unstructured, without a defined waistline. It is best suited for those who appreciate a looser fit. This is a cardigan top. There are no pockets on either side. The chest width is approximately 54 cm (excluding pleating ease). The sample length is approximately 74 cm (front and back are the same length). A slightly shorter front panel (68-74 cm) is also an option. Length adjustments can be accommodated. Please confirm any desired adjustments with the designer before placing your order. A long dress version of the same silhouette is also available. Please refer to the designer's other listings for this item. 🔺 Orders are custom-made and typically completed within 30 working days (including fabric sourcing and production time). 🔺 The garment length can be custom-adjusted.
