Midi to ankle length. Tiny pintucks form a V-shape at waist, sleeves, and neck to compliment the curved V-neckline. Side bust darts. Tented A-line. I suspect this is an acrylic fiber called Leacril which the brand frequently used in their knitwear. Really elegant and well made. The pictures don't do it justice.
Label: Anna Modeller Excellent vintage condition. Ever so very slight yellowing at armpits, seen only upon very close inspection and a bit of zipper pull paint chipping. See photos.

Anna Modeller was founded in 1958 in Torshälla, Sweden by Titti Wrange and her husband Bobbo and later established itself in Åhus in 1960. She initially started making hats and then children's clothing. While at the maternity ward, expecting her second son, Titti brought rag sock yarn and a crochet hook to have something to do. She knit a whole cardigan in heather gray and edged in black, like a jacket. She wore it while visiting another prominent fashion designer, Katja of Sweden. At Katja's home, Titti met people from the Olsson's fashion house in Malmö who loved her work and started selling it. Anna Modeller became one of Sweden's most successful fashion companies with shows in New York, Paris, and London. They built a factory that was completed in the early 1970s and at its peak, employed about 70 women. Through the years, Titti won many awards for her innovative clothes.
She ran the company herself into her 80s and had a store in Dedeberga. Its last season was in 2015 after which she moved to Stockholm to be with family. That summer, she had an exhibition at Anders Hakansgarden which showed garments from the start in 1958 to 2015. Titti Wrange died on September 15, 2020 at the age of 87.
