A short sleeve on a warm knit sounds like a contradiction. It is the reason the Karla gets worn, because the body stays warm and the arms stay free in the months that are neither one season nor the other.

Second Female knit it in a blend of alpaca, wool and nylon. The alpaca gives the warmth and the soft, airy hand. The wool gives it structure. The nylon is there for strength, which is what keeps a fluffy knit from pilling and thinning where the arm rubs against the body.

The neck is round and the line is clean. It is cut regular, so it sits as well tucked into a trouser as it does worn loose over one. Frozen fjord is a pale, cool blue. It sits with grey, with denim and with cream.

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.

Size chart

Size	AU / UK	EU	Bust	Waist	Hip

S	8	36	85 to 89	67 to 71	93 to 97
M	10	38	89 to 93	71 to 75	97 to 101
L	12	40	93 to 97	75 to 79	101 to 105

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements.

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.
