This pretty knit was made in the 1940's from fine pure wool in a rich shade of mustard.
A close fitting design it has a neat diagonal cable pattern with narrow bands of garter stitch running around all the edges.
A beautifully knitted piece it is a wonderful example of true vintage knitwear.
Measurements
This will best fit a 34" bust but because the front has no closure it would fit up to a 36" bust if you don't mind some gaping in the front. To ensure that it will fit you properly, please compare the measurements below to a similar piece you already own;
Flat bust with the fronts just touching 17"
Flat waist 14.5"
Shoulders from outer edge to outer edge 13"
Back length 17 3/4"
Front length 18.5"
Condition
Very good, just minor wear and one small repair in the side seam that someone has done in cotton and a few small marks but I haven't tried to wash the piece so they may come out with careful soaking.
