The Regular Chrysalis Cardi is a one size fits most garment ranging from sizes XS-XXL or 2-14. It can be easily belted in multiple ways, however the Regular is not recommended for petite or shorter woman due to the volume of fabric - See Petite Cardi. The Regular is also not recommended for curvier/taller women due to fabric pulling around the bust or bottom - See Maxi Cardi.
Watching the how-to wear videos to see how much fabric drape and length you would like in your cardi. If you're in between sizes, it is best to size up and the garment can always be tailored shorter to suit your look!
• The Petite works best for heights 5'4" and under with a smaller frame, although it will also work on women above this height (depending on preferred length when styled as a dress).
• The Maxi is best suited for all women under 6’0” with a curvier shape to eliminate any uncomfortable fabric pulling, although it will also work on women who are a bit less curvy (depending on preferred length when styled as a dress).

The fabric is a blend of Lenzing Modal® | Spandex I love the design of the cardi and own two already, I wanted the new color because I thought it would be great for fall. Unfortunately, the fabric is MUCH different from my other two cardis and not at all suitable for cooler weather. I just put it away for use in spring and summer, but since it is not really a color for that we will see how much use it gets. Disappointed but I kept it.

My first purchase from encircled for my honeymoon was this convertible dress in grey and it was so amazing i even wore it kimono style as a robe in the morning with my lunya silk jumper pj and same attire on travel days. It was so versatile but more importantly kept my body temp comfy. After 2 months of constant wear the snaps did loosen, but was an easy 5min fix. I always hoped to get another color and was excited to see black, royal blue, and navy. Hoping to purchase the black & royal blue when possible. I always wished they came out with a deep red burgandy, red orange coral, emerald green, creamy white, and a light blue, periwinkle, and lavender colors- fingers crossed! Overal all Amazing find!
Thank you so much for your beautiful review of the Chrysalis Cardi! We are so excited to hear how much you have been loving it!
I wore the cardi in the Grecian tunic style to my sister’s backyard wedding and it was comfortable and beautiful. The only thing I’d say is that I had to readjust the shoulders often bc it would slip and reveal my bra so I had to check frequently for pictures etc.
I look forward to using the cape and wrap versions for work and hope to get many years out of this piece. This is my first purchase from Encircled and I am looking forward to trying other pieces from this responsible brand.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review on the Chrysalis Cardi! We would like to thank you for your kind words and continued support with us!

The fabric is a blend of Lenzing Modal® | Spandex I am 5'9", 145lbs and the medium fits me beautifully, hitting right at my knees. I found all the styles very easy to put together and each as flattering as the next. I'm excited to try this out on my next trip.
I love the soft fabric and versatility of the Chrysalis Cardi. I would highly recommend this especially for those who travel. ❤️
The material is sublime and there are so many different ways to wear it! This cardi takes the place of several wardrobe items when I travel and has helped to literally lighten my load. Thank you, encircled!
I had high hopes for this, but it just didn't work for me. It was too drapey on me (smaller chest) and I had trouble figuring out the snaps for the different looks. Quality material, just not my style. If you have larger chest you will probably love it.
Sorry to hear it did not work out for you, we truly appreciate your feedback and your support :)
I’m choosing to return my chrysalis cardi. It does not fit me well, though I purchased the size indicated for me by the sizing charts. I was really looking forward to this highly functional wardrobe piece. Unfortunately, it did not lay well as either dress style (wrap or Grecian). Even the scarf style did not look right, especially for the high price.

The fabric is a blend of Lenzing Modal® | Spandex Overall this is a good piece of clothing but there are some cons. For size I am 195lbs 5'6. Not chesty but broad/muscular shoulders, legs, and hips from weighting. I got the maxi size but could also probably have done the regular size. There's definitely enough fabric the dress styles go past my knees more like mid calf but I'm okay that it will be nice when traveling to more conservative places. I may eventually order the regular size also to have one that's a little more fitted.
Pros:
-frabric is super soft and nice. Like the frabric of your dreams soft.
-it is a very versatile piece and you can tell it's well thought out
-I have found a couple of other styles to wear it in that aren't in the instructions
-small substainable company with good customer service
Cons.
-snaps are weak I've worn it once and two snaps are halfway fallen off. I know how to sew so not a huge deal to me as I will just reinforce the snaps
-price is definitely a little steep
-written instructions and online videos are not super helpful. I wish the online videos had talking instructions rather than just music.
Overall I would buy this again though.
After deciding to become more minimalist this has become one of the single most important pieces in my wardrobe. I was initially skeptical because of the price tag but the quality warrants the price. The material is soft, durable, yet breathable. The only complaint would be the booklet of instruction was a little easier to follow. The black material makes it difficult to read. I know I'm going to use the chrysalis cardi so much that I'm going to learn all the options quickly enough. I highly recommend this to anyone for traveling or just being a minimalist.
I’ve only worn this once as the cocoon cardigan and I liked it. I have to admit that neither the paper instructions which come with the garment nor the instructional videos were very clear as to how to transform it into this formation. Those instructions REALLY need an edit and need to be translated into instructions that make sense.
