FAQs

What materials is the Derya sweater made from?

The Derya sweater is crafted from a blend of TENCEL lyocell, wool, and silk.

How should I wash the Derya sweater?

It requires hand washing only in cool water and should be dried flat to maintain its shape and delicate texture.

Is the sweater warm enough for cold weather?

The wool and silk blend provides light warmth, making it suitable for layering in cooler weather or for milder climates. It is not designed as heavy winter outerwear.

What does 'semi-sheer fabrication' mean?

Semi-sheer means the fabric is slightly transparent, allowing some light to pass through. This is intentional for a lighter aesthetic and layering possibilities.

Can I machine wash this sweater?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The delicate blend requires gentle hand washing to prevent damage.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This variant is for size S in white. Other sizes (XS, M, L, XL, XXL) are available in white. Please check the product listings for specific availability.

How do the dropped shoulders affect the fit?

Dropped shoulders create a more relaxed and contemporary silhouette, sitting lower on the arm than traditional set-in sleeves, contributing to the sweater's comfortable feel.

Troubleshooting

Sweater feels itchy

The wool blend might cause mild irritation for sensitive skin. Consider wearing a thin base layer underneath, such as a silk camisole or a fine cotton t-shirt.

Fabric appears too sheer for intended use

Layer the sweater over a neutral-colored camisole, bralette, or a fine knit top. Alternatively, consider pairing it with a garment underneath that complements the white color, such as a light grey or cream base layer.

Sweater loses shape after washing

Ensure you are following the 'dry flat' instruction carefully. Reshape the garment immediately after washing and lay it flat on a clean towel or drying rack, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not wring the garment.
