Circumference: 115 (123) 128 (131) 136 (141) 147 (152) cm [45.75 (48.5) 50.5 (51.5) 53.5 (55.5) 58 (59.5) inches]
Size guide
Levitate Wrap has an oversize fit. The smaller sizes have a greater positive ease than the larger sizes in order to complement the individual body the best. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 30-35 cm [11.75-13.75 inches] in size XS-XL and approx. 20 cm [8 inches] in size 2XL-4XL.
The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are equivalent to the European standard sizes 34 (36) 38 (40) 42 (44) 46 (48) and suit a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55) inches].
For example: You measure 89 cm [35 inches] at your bust + 30-35 cm [11.75-13.75 inches] = 119-124 cm [46.75 – 48.75 inches]. Meaning you would choose a size S with a circumference of 123 cm [48.5 inches].
About the design
Levitate Wrap is an oversize, wrap cardigan in loungewear style.
The fit is short and boxy with extra long sleeves. The cardigan has a deep v-neck, double knitted edges and ribbons for tying.
My Favourite Things Knitwear (Louise Rasmussen) writes about the design:
I have long dreamed of that piece of knitwear that can be worn for all occasions.
With the Levitate Wrap I’ve aimed to create just that. A classic, elegant, and comfortable piece.
In designing the style, the choice of material was my starting point. With the choice of the soft, light alpaca and the shiny linen thread, my idea has been to create the illusion of a sandy beach with shiny pieces of mother-of-pearl, thus pointing to the main inspiration of the Breeze collection: The structures and shades of sand.
The inspiration for the design itself is drawn from Isager’s great love for Japan. I have turned my attention to the classic Japanese karate suit: the gi.
When I design, it is always with the perfect fit as my main focus. It is important to me that the fit guides and highlights the lines of the design, and that the details are both aesthetic and functional.
I’ve worked with few, but distinct details: the carefully placed increases along the shoulder and neckline, the double knitted edges, and the long tie band.
In Levitate Wrap, you’ll find something soft to wrap yourself in after a long day at the beach, something to wear over a delicate silk dress for summer parties, or something to pair with your favorite pajama pants on a lazy morning.
