OUR GRANDMOTHERS AND THEIR MOMS AND GRANDMAS KNITTED SWEATERS ALL YEAR LONG!!
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 . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S SWEATER BLOUSE FROM AUSTRALIA
TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S SWEATER BLOUSE FROM AUSTRALIA
Here’s a good picture of the unusual sweater that I found in Australia a few months ago. The most unique thing about it is the fiber – Bri Nylon – produced in Great Britain at that time, and now a vintage fabric.
There’s another modesty panel in the neckline, and pearlized buttons with stems for decoration.
Again, that salmon pink that seems to crop up in the Spring every decade or so . . . .

A PRETTY LITTLE TRUE VINTAGE DRESS FOR SPRING AND SUMMER – 1950’S SHEER!
MID – CENTURY TRUE VINTAGE ELEGANCE: WHAT REALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
SPRING SHOULDER SEASON SIXTIES SKIRT SUIT – TRY SAYING THAT TWICE!
WE CAN SOMETIMES GET AWAY FROM THE HEAVY WOOL NOW IN NORTH AMERICA – YEA!
For Spring or Fall – or any time the temps are in that mid cool-ish range – a lightweight wool knit skirt suit by Butte Knits. I LOVE the olive drab color and the flattering fit.
This is one of a few examples I’ve found of mid-60’s suits like this, or similar. The high-end knits are so comfortable and easy to wear, but ready for just about any setting. It’s also two separates that can easily be paired with other skirts or pants for a different look.
I think my Aussie friends down under would love a garment like it at this time of year . . . . . . . . . . .
