Retro, graphic, and just cheeky enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e and is \u003cstrong\u003eFairtrade, GOTS, and ROC™ certified\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Ideal if you like a sweater that holds its shape well and doesn't immediately feel like a winter blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is the DEDICATED AUTUMN FLOWERS sweater so great?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially that print. Just look at it. The flowers have such a wonderful seventies vibe, but the black background keeps it very wearable. You get color and character without feeling like you're walking out the door as a human flower arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe round neck, raglan sleeves, and ribbed cuffs give it that classic sweatshirt look.

So, not tight, but not oversized either. Just a nice, normal fit that falls loosely around the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe model in the photo is 173 cm tall and is wearing a size S. In principle, just choose your own size. If you prefer to wear it a bit looser and more nonchalant, you can optionally take a size larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the measurements of the DEDICATED AUTUMN FLOWERS?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sizes below are the \u003cstrong\u003emeasurements of the garment itself\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Then grab a sweater from your own closet that fits well and compare the measurements. That often gives much more information than just looking at the letter on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you style a black sweater with a floral print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActually, very easily. Because the base is black, you can treat it just like a black sweater. Just one that’s much more fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWear it with blue jeans and sneakers for an easy daily outfit. With black or dark brown trousers, it becomes a bit more understated. And because there are olive, orange, mustard, and mauve tones in the print, you can also pick up one of those colors in your pants, jacket, or accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I personally love: under a coat, you only see a bit of that print, and the moment you take the coat off, something happens. That kind of garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does 400 gsm mean for a sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGSM stands for grams per square meter and tells you something about the weight and thickness of the fabric. At \u003cstrong\u003e400 gsm\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a fairly sturdy sweater quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt feels fuller and more robust than a thin sweatshirt and keeps its shape well. Because the inside is not brushed, it remains smoother and slightly less fluffy on the inside. That makes it very nice as a mid-layer and for people who quickly find that thick fleece-like interior too warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat material is this DEDICATED sweater made of?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AUTUMN FLOWERS is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e. It feels soft, natural, and breathable, and is sturdy enough for a sweatshirt you want to wear often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd let's be honest: with a sweater like this, that is exactly the intention. Not one that you save just \"for looks,\" but one you just put on, wash, put on again, and a few years later still think: yes, nice thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do GOTS, Fairtrade, and ROC™ mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDEDICATED uses cotton with multiple certifications for this sweater. \u003cstrong\u003eGOTS\u003c\/strong\u003e sets requirements for organic textiles and their processing. \u003cstrong\u003eFairtrade\u003c\/strong\u003e focuses, among other things, on fairer trade conditions for cotton producers. \u003cstrong\u003eROC™\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for Regenerative Organic Certified and, in addition to organic farming, also looks at soil management, animal welfare, and social conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree labels on one sweater is of course no reason to buy it if you think it's hideous. Luckily, we don't have that problem at all here. 😉\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you wash an organic cotton sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably don't wash it after every wear. Airing it out is often enough if it's not dirty. Does it need to go in the wash? Wash it \u003cstrong\u003einside out at a low temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e with a little bit of detergent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy washing it inside out, you protect not only the outside of the fabric but also the beautiful floral print. It's better not to cram the drum full and avoid fabric softener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfterward, let the sweater air dry. The dryer is not necessary and can cause cotton to shrink unnecessarily and wear out faster. Gently pull it into shape after washing and let it dry naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtra tips for washing organic cotton can be found in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R-f1fq2Kwuw\"\u003ethis video\u003c\/a\u003e. And, of course, read our washing guide, which you receive with every purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan organic cotton shrink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, slight shrinkage with cotton can never be completely ruled out. Especially at higher temperatures or in the dryer. That's why we'll say it again: low temperature, no dryer, and gently pull it back into shape after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith cotton sweatshirt fabrics, the fabric can also change shape slightly during wear and washing. That is part of natural fibers. Treat it with a little love and you will enjoy it for much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs this sweater warm?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, quite. At 400 gsm, the fabric is sturdy and provides a nice layer of warmth. But because the inside is not brushed, it feels less heavy and fluffy than a classic fleece-lined sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the fall, you can easily wear it as an outer layer on a dry day. In the winter, it's very nice under a coat. And indoors, it is warm without you immediately melting away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDo not buy if...\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou are looking for a super-thin sweater, an oversized model, or something very neutral without a print. The AUTUMN FLOWERS has a normal fit, a sturdy sweatshirt quality, and the flowers are clearly present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you are looking for a \u003cstrong\u003eblack women's sweater made of organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e that is comfortable, feels nice and sturdy, and also has a print that instantly brightens up your outfit? Then this one is definitely very nice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the DEDICATED AUTUMN FLOWERS sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DEDICATED AUTUMN FLOWERS sweater fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater has a regular fit and fits true to size. In principle, choose your own size. If you want to wear it roomier, optionally take a size larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat material is the sweater made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is made of 100% organic cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DEDICATED AUTUMN FLOWERS GOTS certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The sweater is GOTS certified and also Fairtrade and ROC™ certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow thick is this sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric has a weight of 400 gsm, making it sturdy and relatively thick for a sweatshirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this sweater have a soft fleece inside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The inside is unbrushed, so it is not roughened. It therefore feels smoother than a fleece-lined sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the sweater have raglan sleeves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The sleeves run diagonally from the neck towards the armpit. That gives the sweater a classic sporty sweatshirt look and ensures pleasant freedom of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich colors are in the floral print?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe print consists of warm tones such as orange, mustard yellow, olive green, brown, mauve, and soft lilac on a black background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I combine this sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVery easily with denim, black, brown, olive green, or ecru.
