Description
As with many beautifully beaded garments from the 50s and 60s, this black wool 1950s cardigan sweater was made in Hong Kong for export to the US market. The wool underneath the beading has a neat diamond pattern with an open weave, that is echoed by the tiny black glass beads and shiny sequins that completely cover it in diamond shapes. Straight rows of beads and sequins trim the mandarin collar, the front opening, the cuffs of the elbow-length sleeves and the hem. The sweater closes with a row of tiny hooks and eyes and has a somewhat boxy, cropped fit. It is fully lined with black chiffon. Great for adding some sparkle over your favorite vintage cocktail dress for evening, this cardigan will also look great worn with a skirt or more casually with jeans. It is in excellent condition.
