This amazing sweater was made in the 1950s or 1960s by Helen Wong of Hong Kong, a brand that focused on sequined tops and beaded sweaters like this one. This piece is truly a work of art. Seed beads form an intricate pattern, not just at the chest but also on the shoulders, back, and wrists. A scattering of sequins lends even more sparkle. Its buttons with faux pearls. It's super warm and soft. The bodice is lined for extra comfort (note sleeves are not lined).
