Can anyone help?
Reasonably thick (not thin is what I mean)
Button up
Either drop raglan or batwing sleeves
Hip length (eg 54-60cm from shoulder to hem)
Anyone guide me?
I've looked around so far!!

Also ideally not 'delicate' looking and not like a school uniform style.

Too long sorry.
And one too short.
Not below bottom, but not on waist. Sort of mid bum area.

Not useful as it's out of stock, but this is lovely, cotton so hasn't bobbled, might be a little shorter than you wanted but it's honestly my fave cardi, you might be able to find it elsewhere www.asos.com/monki/monki-knit-cardigan-in-burgundy/prd/203782346

I got 2 of these in the sea green and neon orange a couple of weeks ago in the sale for £70 each, they are gorgeous. I am size 10-12 but reading the reviews saying they came up small I ordered 12 and 14 to try. I kept the 14s and I am petite and never a 14. They have a few 14s left in Burgundy, I looked and with the 20% discount today that comes to £56 for a lovely burgundy cashmere cardigan. If I hadn't decided on a no spend 2023 after a January sales splurge I probably would have got this colour too at that price. I tried loads of cardigans this winter before settling on these as they were the best I could find. www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/cashmere-v-neck-cardigan-mulled-wine-melange/sty-k0691-dam

There's a few batwing ones too.

I'm 5'3, not that short on me. Kind of half way up my bum, but not cropped. The 14 fitted better, a more boxy fit, but without a gaping waist which I don't like.

Big ask but would you please measure the length neck to hem for me?
It's a great bargain but still expensive for me. But I have been looking for one for ages. @Netcam

Not the best photo, just put it on with what I'm wearing, but gives you an idea.

Shoulder to hem measures 54cm. You can always return it if it's not right. I got them to wear over summer dresses, although they would probably work with jeans etc. It's really soft and beautiful fabric.

I will update when it arrives. Sounds like a good length
