Loft is what lets a boxy shape hold its corners. In a thin yarn the same shape just looks too big.

The Kaja is a fluffy alpaca blend with that loft. Its pattern is worked in the same colour as the ground, so it shows as texture when the light moves across it. Square to look at and warm to wear.

The shape needs something fitted underneath. Over a slim trouser or a narrow skirt the volume looks intended.

Worth keeping in the car for the southerly change. The fluffy alpaca blend holds warm air in its loft and the boxy shape goes straight on over a shirt.

Second Female is cut in Copenhagen to European sizing. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes, so the UK column is your Australian size: a Second Female M is a UK and AU 10, an EU 38. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Choosing between two sizes

Most Second Female styles are true to size. Fitted styles and structured fabrics are the exception, and there the house recommends the larger size. Relaxed shapes and knits with give can take the smaller one. Blazers and jackets want a little room across the shoulders and bust. Any style that runs differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.
Inseam: from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.

Caring for Second Female

Wool, alpaca and mohair knits: hand wash, or a gentle wool cycle with wool detergent. Dry flat. Store folded, never on a hanger.

Leather: wipe with a damp cloth. Condition regularly so it does not dry out. Keep it away from heat and direct sun.

Cotton: wash cold and gently. Air dry to keep the shape and avoid shrinkage.

Denim: wash sparingly and inside out to protect the colour. Air dry.

For every other fabric, follow the care label sewn into the piece.
