Which size to choose

  • Go with your usual size. That's the right choice for most women in most of our styles.
  • Between two sizes? Take the larger one for an easier fit, especially if you plan to layer underneath.
  • On each product page, Find my fit beside the sizes starts from the size you normally wear, and Fit and sizing shows the size worn in the photos where we have it.

How to measure

  • Bust: measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level under your arms.
  • Waist: measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
  • Hips: stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Keep the tape snug but not tight. If one measurement falls in a different size from the others, go by your usual size and the fit you like.

Our cashmere

Sustainable Mongolian Cashmere

Cashmere is the fine underdown a goat grows for winter and sheds in spring. Each goat gives only a few hundred grams a year, which is why real cashmere has always been rare.

Finer from Mongolian winters

Our cashmere comes from goats on the Mongolian steppe, where winters are long and hard. The colder the winter, the finer and longer the down, and long, fine fibers give the knit its soft feel.

Warmth without weight

Cashmere is warmer than sheep's wool at a fraction of the weight. It holds a layer of still air close to the body, so a light sweater does the work of a heavy one.

Fine gauge, close drape

We knit it at a fine gauge with a smooth face and a close drape, and we state the composition on every piece.

Yes. Tap Find my fit beside the sizes. It asks a few quick questions, starting with the size you normally wear, then suggests a size for this piece.

Where we have it, Fit and sizing above lists the size worn in the photos, so you can compare it with your own frame.

Not if it is cared for well. Wool shrinks from heat and the tumble dryer, so wash it cool, by hand or on a wool cycle, and dry it flat.

Arrived fast in tidy packaging. The length is fine for work, a bit short but I wear tights. Cheaper than the department store dresses I used to buy and the quality is better. Realy pleased.
