"Satin Rose Buds" Vintage 1950's Satin Rose Bud Embroidered Cardigan UK 10-12 US 6-8

£389.00

This truly magnificent 1950's cream lambswool and cashmere mix cardigan, embellished with a design of trailing rose buds, rendered in embroidery and satin appliqués, is a rare piece to behold.

The rounded neckline is framed by a slim ribbed knit design. The simple shoulder line, sets off the full length inset sleeves, which are finished with wide ribbed cuffs, above which trailing leaf embroidery can be found along each external side of the sleeves. The timeless cut, is accented by the intricate embroidery features, which trail along the yokes and shoulder lines, along the back-line and front left hand side of the bodice. The trio tones of green embroidery, sets off the satin and rayon folded rose bud appliqués, which are in turn embroidered into place. Finished with wool covered matching buttons, this magnificent cardigan truly showcases the craftsmanship of the era.  This cardigan is only lined behind the embroidery designs.
