Lovely vintage 50s medium weight hand beaded cashmere and angora blend cardigan sweater.

Beautiful off white sweater features an overall design of hand beaded faux pearls with floral rosettes of iridescent bugle bead with dangles of round beads and faux pearls s as pictured.

Open front with no fasteners. The sweater is unlined with wrist length sleeves.

Both sides of the open front are backed with grosgrain ribbon for stability.

This sweater is very soft and not itchy or scratchy at all.

This sweater is "full-fashioned" meaning it was knit into shape, rather than being cut and sewn from a flat piece of knit fabric.

DESIGNER LABEL: No designer labels.

SIZING: Tagged a vintage size 40. Based on the measurements below, I'd say this would best fit a modern size Medium.

MEASUREMENTS:

Shoulders: 14"

Outer Sleeves: 20" - Shoulder Seam to Sleeve End

Inner Sleeves:. 13-3/4" underarm to sleeve end

Bust: 38"

Bottom: 28"

Length: 19-3/4" - Center Back to Sweater Bottom

CONDITION: Excellent - no fading, discoloration, holes, rips, stains, snags, odors, broken beads or faux pearls, or other issues. The knit is very strong and not thin or stressed. The only thing is there are some pinholes on the inside grosgrain ribbon where the sweater was pinned shut by a previous owner. These pinholes do not show through to the outside and do not detract at all.

Freshly cleaned and ready to wear.

Gorgeous sweater perfect for any special occasion when you want to look your best.

Beautiful addition to any collection of vintage hand beaded cardigan sweaters.
