The total length is rather long at 86cm; what roles do the hem rib structure and side slits play when worn?
When choosing a knit long enough to cover the hips, one may hesitate wondering if it might catch on the pelvis and feel uncomfortable when walking or moving if the hem is narrow. Because the hem width is narrow compared to the generous chest circumference, one wants to check how the actual fit and comfort are held.

In this knit, while the narrow rib structure holds the hem of the garment stably against the body, the side slits help you move comfortably without tightness around the pelvis despite the long length.
The total length of 86cm belongs to a rather long category among knits, enough to fully cover the hips[1]. The silhouette is relaxed. Low Tide's RELAXED OFF-SHOULDER KNIT features a loose silhouette with a chest width of 58cm, but it gathers narrowly with a hem width of 38cm[2][3].
The hem is a sturdy rib structure[4]. Rib knitting, where vertical ribs are visible, has excellent horizontal elasticity, playing the role of neatly holding the shape of the hem without constricting the body. The side slits interlock with this[5]. Generally, tops with long total lengths and narrow hem widths easily catch on the pelvis when walking, causing the hem to ride up, but having side slits allows the hem to spread open smoothly to match your stride, preserving mobility.
The specific slit length of the side slits has not yet been confirmed.
