Oversized knits
Dropped shoulder, generous body. The knit worn out, which asks for a clean trouser underneath.
The shape
The shoulder falls below the bone and the sleeve is long accordingly: that is the line, not a sizing error.
A length that covers the waistband.
Yarns
Wool and silk for weights that fall. Cotton for summer.
Volume asks for soft yarns: a stiff yarn on an oversized shape bulks instead of falling.
Frequently asked questions
Should I size down?
+
No. The dropped shoulder and the volume are built into the model: stay with your usual size.
What should I wear underneath?
+
A clean trouser. Volume above and volume below together lose the figure.
How do I wash it?
+
By hand in cold water with a detergent for delicates, or a cold wool cycle. Dry flat.
Does it work under a jacket?
+
No. A dropped shoulder does not sit under a structured jacket.
