1940s 1950s Vintage Teal Blue Dolman Sleeve Cardigan & Skirt Knit Wool Set - Md to Lg
A lovely vintage late 40s or early 50s knit set for the collector. The teal blue tone is really a unique color to find in the knit world- and it pairs so beautifully with the pearl-like buttons. The collar on the cardigan has a lovely little white trim edge that looks like angora to me given the slightly more fuzzy edges. The sweater buttons up the front and features dolman style sleeves. Skirt is a pull on. There is no label or size tag. Feels like wool. Would likely best fit a modern Medium, maybe a large given the stretching capabilities of the knit. For reference model is modern women’s size 4/6 and cardigan is too large for her in the chest. Please see measurement - though remember there is a bit of give to the fabric.

Measurements of Top NOT Stretched :
Bust: 40 inches (these are dolman style sleeves) model is 34 B for reference
Hem: 26 inches (there is give here too)
Length: 20 inches
Sleeve Length: about 18 inches (no shoulder seem to measure from)
Measurements of Skirt :
Waist: 22 to 34 inches given the give to the knit (model is 27 inches at the waist)
Hips : 36 inches up to about 44 inches
Length: 30 inches
Fair vintage condition - The set presents beautifully, and i think is wearable as is, especially for costume. But there is some dye issues making this set likely best off as a candidate for an over-dye! The areas are most obvious at the front near the buttons of the cardigan and at the underarms and then the edge seams and seat of the skirt. I did my best to demonstrate this with the photos, but it was very difficult to capture. Besides the areas and spots with color fade/discoloration there is some overall wear to the knits with some pilling. Some past repairs were found, likely mending prior holes but they seem ok now. Belt loops on sweater, but original belt is missing. Some minor wear to buttons. Priced for dye issues.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
