Polka Dot Collared Sweatshirt & Drawstring Mini Skirt Set

About this piece

A matched top-and-bottom set, graded as one so the proportions line up across the waist rather than only in the mirror. It is deliberately straightforward. There is one obvious way to use it, it works the way you expect, and it does not need to be handled carefully to survive normal life. It comes in 5 colours.

Fabric and feel

Knitted rather than woven, so the surface has a fine, even grain and the fabric moves in both directions. That two-way give is what lets a knitted piece sit close to the body without pulling across the chest, and it is why the seams stay flat instead of standing up along the shoulder.

Cut and fit

The seams are flat-felled or bound rather than overlocked and left raw, so there is nothing to catch and nothing to fray out of the wash. Hems are re-turned twice before stitching, and the shoulder seam carries a strip of tape so it does not stretch out of line on a hanger. It is graded S/M/L, and the flat measurements for every size are in the chart below.

Why it is sold as a set

A two-piece set — top and bottom cut from the same cloth, sized together and meant to be worn as a pair or split up. Detailed where it needs to be and plain where it does not. The shape is kept quiet so it works with what you already own rather than only with the rest of one collection. Two matching pieces in the same fabric and the same size run, so the set works together and each half works on its own.

Wearing it together or apart

Layering is where it earns its place: it sits under a jacket without bunching across the shoulders and over a base layer without pulling tight across the back. Between seasons, fold it rather than hanging it. A hanger is the quickest way to change the shape of a shoulder, and folding costs nothing but a shelf. For travel, roll it rather than folding it flat and most of the creasing drops out on its own once it is hanging again.

Top

The two pieces are measured separately, both laid flat in centimetres. Chest, waist and hip are half-circumference: double them to compare with a body measurement.

Bottom

The two pieces are measured separately, both laid flat in centimetres. Chest, waist and hip are half-circumference: double them to compare with a body measurement.

Allow 1-2 cm of tolerance, since the garments are cut and sewn by hand rather than stamped. If your measurement lands between two sizes, take the larger one - our fits are not vanity sized.

How we would wear it

1. Worn as a set

   Matching pieces make a complete outfit in one decision.

2. Split across two days

   Each half works with plain pieces you already own.

3. Top with denim

   The top alone reads as a normal everyday piece.

4. Bottom with a plain tee

   Keeps the volume in one place and the rest quiet.

Care

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and dry flat in the shade. Do not hang a wet knit — the weight is what stretches shoulders out of line. Do not tumble dry and do not iron directly; steam from the reverse if it needs refreshing between washes.
