OUR GRANDMOTHERS AND THEIR MOMS AND GRANDMAS KNITTED SWEATERS ALL YEAR LONG!!
It’s hard to imagine, but
mid-century and before women wore sweaters of one kind or another all year. These McCall’s needlework magazine pictures from the 1950’s and early 1960’s prove it! Not only dresses, cardigans and little boleros, but I’ve seen patterns for shorts and even bathing suits.
If you keep a woman confined with time on her hands, it’s amazing what she will come up with . . . . . . . .

EARLY ’60’S (OR LATE ’50’S) DRESSY 3/4 SLEEVED COAT JACKET FROM A CHICAGO DESIGNER
EARLY ’60’S (OR LATE ’50’S) DRESSY 3/4 SLEEVED COAT JACKET FROM A CHICAGO DESIGNER
This is an LBJ rather than an LBD – a Little Black Jacket. One of my very favorite surprise finds! And, just perfect for shoulder-season wear – when it’s not too hot or too cold outside yet.
Late ’50’s – early ’60’s – just about First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s time. She could have worn one like it over a dressy LBD or evening wear. Look at the trim around the collar and the heavy, glossy fabric.
It has 3/4 length sleeves with bows at the cuff, large covered buttons and a bow at the neck and falls straight in a boxy cut. Two side pockets at the hips. The length of the hem would also be 3/4 on a taller person.
From a Chicago clothier – maybe tailor-made and very distinctive. Never run across one like it before, or since, but I have seen pictures of them from that time.
