Please note that each poncho is individually handmade, resulting in slight variations in color and design that enhance its uniqueness and charm. Composition: 100% Cotton, hand-crocheted. For the Full Size: Ivory color model Shantal is 5 feet 7 inches tall, wears a size 10 Australian/UK, and opts for the S/M version. Latte colorvmodel Kasia is 5 feet 2 inches tall, wears a size 6-8 Australian/UK, and also selects the S/M version. For those 5 feet 8 inches or taller considering the S/M size, expect the poncho to fall just below the knee to half-calf length, depending on your height and body size (e.g., larger bust or broad shoulders may result in a shorter fit). If you desire a full-length poncho and are 5 feet 8 inches or taller, we recommend choosing the new M/L size. However, we advise against selecting this size if you are 5 feet 8 inches or shorter, unless you are a size 16 UK/Aus or above. If you’re 5 feet 7 inches or shorter and aiming for a longer look, the S/M size is recommended. For individuals 5 feet 3 inches or shorter and wearing a size 6-10, we suggest the XS/S size. The M/L and XXL sizes share the same neckline and are suitable for sizes starting at 12-14 up top. They are identical except for length, with the XXL being longer. If you’re a size 16 or larger and 5 feet 9 inches or taller, we recommend the XXL size. The S/M size features a slightly larger neckline (0.6 inches) than the XS/S size and includes three additional rows of crochet on each side, resulting in longer arms and a longer body. For individuals 5 feet 8 inches or taller, we recommend selecting the S/M for a below-knee length or the M/L size for a length toward the ankles. The M/L size shares the same neckline as the S/M but is four rows longer. Please note that the poncho’s length may vary depending on your height. Upon receipt and wear, the poncho will naturally drop and stretch by approximately 1.2-1.6 inches (about half to one size) in length. For the Mini size, the model is a size 10 Australian Shoulder to Shoulder 47cm V-Neck to Bottom 44cm Shoulder to fringe 33cm Fringe length 17cm To ensure longevity, we recommend the following washing instructions for both sizes of the poncho: Hand wash or dry clean your item. When hand washing, use a minimal amount of detergent and avoid soaking for longer than 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in fresh water and consider soaking overnight in a softener for a luxuriously soft result. Dry flat in the shade to preserve the garment’s shape and texture. When storing, fold the poncho instead of hanging it on a coat hanger to prevent stretching. If this item is available for pre-order, you can generally expect your order to be crafted and delivered within a timeframe of 2 to 14 weeks from the date of your order. In some cases, it may even arrive sooner if possible. To clarify, when an item is available for pre-order, it means that we have either already placed the order and it’s currently in process or it will be ordered on the next available order date, which is the 1st of each month. Typically, it takes 4-7 weeks from the order date for the items to be completed. If you’d like a more specific estimate for your particular kimono, please feel free to email us.
