Pointelle is a specialised knitting technique that creates tiny, delicate geometric eyelet openings in the fabric, giving it a feminine, vintage lace appearance. While the fabric features an airy open-work pattern, our Elle shirt uses a cotton-rich blend that provides excellent coverage. On brisker autumn days, it layers beautifully over a tonal camisole or under a chunky knit cardigan. Will the blanket-stitch detailing fray or unravel in the washing machine? Not at all. The blanket-stitch embroidery is applied using threads that are securely anchored into the seams of the collar and placket. As long as you follow the care instructions and wash the shirt on a gentle cycle, the stitching will stay intact and neat. How should I wash this shirt to prevent the pointelle knit from catching or stretching? To protect the delicate open-work knit, turn the shirt inside out and place it in a mesh laundry bag before machine washing on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid washing it alongside garments with exposed zippers or heavy hooks that could catch on the eyelets. Avoid the tumble dryer entirely; instead, lay it flat or hang it to air dry.
