My Stylin' Aunt's Sweaters from the 1940's

Aside from the awesome dresses and suits my Auntie Jeanne wore, she also had some great sweaters.

This knit sweater had no labels, but felt like 100% cotton.  Note the covered buttons and small collar.  The contrast cable detail on the yoke is stitched to the outside of the pebble stitch throughout the sweater.  Three-quarter length sleeves and a short waist give it a trendy look.




This black beaded sweater features full length sleeves and extensive beadwork.  Check out the details below.  Small seed beads are stitched into elaborate florals in the upper center back, the upper front and the sleeves and lower edges.  Fully lined.



The black sweater has a twin-- or nearly one.  

This cream sweater features amazing beadwork like the black one.  It's beads contrast slightly, as they are white and tan on the cream ground.  Full length sleeves, fully lined.  Lovely.


The back neck detail is exquisite.
