About the Item

Popularized by Coco Chanel and reimagined countless times since, the cardigan suit remains one of the most timeless and recognizable silhouettes in fashion history. St John’s version in figure-flattering Santana knit is as functional as it is polished: it requires minimal care, never stretches out of shape and conceals figure flaws beautifully. This nautical interpretation is seasonless and striking, and can be divided into separates to extend your wardrobe even further. Sleeveless knit sheath and matching cardigan-style jacket. Fully-fashioned dress features round neck, belt loops and navy herringbone knit belt with gold snap detail; rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye. Cardigan jacket has navy contrast trim around notched collar, placket and faux pocket edges. 4 gold button closure plus one on each pocket; shoulder pads. Both pieces unlined. fabric: wool/rayon Santana knit noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: none condition: excellent measurements (unstretched): •dress• neck: 8 ½” neckline opening shoulders: n/a (14” fabric edge to edge) bust: 33” unstretched – 40” fully stretched waist: 32” hips: 36” unstretched – 45” fully stretched length: 39” from shoulder, 31 ¾” from underarm circumference: 36” belt: 1 ½” w x 32 ½” long •jacket• collar: 3” at widest shoulders: 15” sleeve: 23” from shoulder; 16” from underarm bust: 38” unstretched – 46” fully stretched waist: 36” length: 22” from shoulder; 13” from underarm circumference: 40” label: St. John Collection by Marie Gray size: vintage size 6; comparable to modern size medium
