Feminine and lady like, lace overlay cardigan from the 1960s.
By Danella
Cream lace, over kitten soft Orlon knit with elegant satin details. The sweater closes with real mother of pearl buttons. The rounded Peter Pan collar is satin bound on the edge and the sleeves have knit cuffs so they can be worn pushed up which was the style at that time. It has a straight style without any shaping and is cropped above the hip. The edge of the hem is also satin bound. The collar can be worn buttoned up but would also look lovely open at the neck. A perfect year round vintage sweater that will go with everything.
Dressy enough to wear in the evening over your shoulders yet casual looking when worn with jeans. A truly versatile piece. Never worn and in......

Classic beaded black sweater from the late 1950s - early 1960s.
The knit is a soft wool and fur blend with a touch of nylon to retain shape. It is lined around the neck and in front with black China silk. Along the front edges and around the neck is trimmed with beads and sequins. The sequins are especially pretty... black with an aurora borealis finish. These same sequins are sprinkled over the front.
The sweater closes with black dyed mother of pearl buttons and has a fitted ribbed waist and cuff.
The label reads.. Imported Full Fashioned Tarsia knit, 20% fur fibre,10% nylon and 70% lambswool, hand frame knitted. There is a small, made in Japan label as well another which reads size 40.
It has the typical cropped look with a ribbed waist band which rests just below the natural waist. The sleeves are not 3/4 length but they are shorter than those of most modern sweaters. The look of the day was to push the sleeve up so one could show off the pretty bracelets and dainty watches women always wore.
Another very versatile sweater which can be worn for day or evening. Never worn and in....

For those nippy, hot cocoa, fall and winter days a 1950s Red Plaid Mohair cardigan!
Mohair comes from the Angora goat. The wool has a smooth, lustrous, texture and looks a bit like spun sugar!
An expensive fiber, Mohair is usually blended sparingly with wool to create a feather light yarn that is remarkably strong and warm. Although perfect for fall or spring I often wear mine in place of a coat on less frigid winter days as well.
Dark cherry red with gray and black plaid front + plain back. Plain red sleeves, button placket and collar. This sweater is a very nice PURE mohair yarn (not a blend)... thick but lightweight and oh sooo cozy. The buttons are genuine gray mother of pearl.
The label reads Made in Italy Exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue Mohair.
Med size with the following measurements before stretch.
Bust 39"
Waist 34"
Sleeve Length 22"

1950s-60s hand embroidered cardigan from Norway.
Rib knit Ivory wool, waist length sweater with bracelet length sleeves (a little longer than 3/4 but not quite full length). The front has beautiful traditional hand embroidered flowers and twining vines. It buttons to the neck with cast pewter buttons.
Genuine vintage Norwegian sweaters are a treasure and have inspired many a designer to create their own versions. Some of the copies are lovely but I prefer the real thing.
The label reads Handknitted In Norway 100% Virgin Norwegian Wool, Moth Proof Husfliden, Bergen.
It is a Med/Small size with the following measurements before stretch.

Just Adorable!
Pretty little floral blouse circa 1950s. Done in a light nylon crepe with deep pink flower print accented with spring green foliage. The background is white. The cut of the blouse is cropped and gently fitted. It has short sleeves and a mandarin like collar. At the neck is a dainty double bow done in the same fabric. It closes down the front with pearl buttons. The look of the day in the 50s was a bit high waisted so be aware that the blouse will only come to a few inches below the midriff, just enough to tuck in if desired. The size is a generous medium with a bust measurement of 41". The shoulders are 15 1/2" across and the waist is 33". The label inside reads Miss Charm Boston. Size 36. This is odd because the measurements are more like a size 38. These vintage nylon blouses hand wash and drip dry beautifully. Never Worn and in ...
