Deutsch term

auf Form gestrickt

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Textilien/Kleidung/Mode
This phrase occurs in a promotional text for a cashmere sweater in the following context:

"Figurumspielender, klassischer Basic-Pullover mit Rundhalsausschnitt aus anschmiegsamer, weicher Kaschmirwolle. Der Pullover ist *auf Form gestrickt* und überzeugt durch das edle Material, das selbst bei großer Kälte angenehm warm hält und die Körpertemperatur optimal reguliert. Ein treuer Begleiter durch die kalte Jahreszeit."

Any help would be much appreciated.

My grandmother used to know exactly how to do that knitting, but the words for it may have been lost?

fully fashioned

And for a final fashion hint women are informed that "neben den geschnittenen Strickwaren gibt es die anderen, auf Form gestrickten, die man fully fashioned nennt"

rephrase: form hugging cashmere sweater

I know" gestrickt" isn't mentioned here, but it is self-evident as it is made of cashmere wool. hth

agree Johanna Timm, PhD : oder: "figure-hugging knit"?

thanks, Johanna, your suggestion would be a good solution, too
agree Sabine Schmalzl : like both Ingeborg's and Johanna's suggestions

vielen Dank, Sabine
disagree Cetacea : This has nothing to with figure-hugging. A very loose cardigan can be auf Form gestrickt as well. It means that rather than being cut from knit fabric, the individual pieces are knit "to the proper shape". In English, the term is fully fashioned.

neutral mooneyr (X) : I would interpret "auf Form gestrickt" as "tailored". It's a figure-hugging tailored fit cashmere jumper (or sweater in US English)
