curved boning in them

The waist can be cinched in with the original tie belt

The contrast between the fabric is quite beautiful and silver thread is worked around the patterns to further highlight them

The loose cut allows this to fit a variety of sizes

There is just enough weight to the fabric to hold the shape and volume the piece requires but it is still surprisingly fluid

Adorable 1950s Hand Knit Red Floral Detail Sweater designer-fendi curved boning in themThis little red sweater is so fabulous and it is a wonderful example of the mid century knitwear that was coming out of countries like Germany for the tourist market. It is completely hand made and I love the floral design that is worked through the knit around the collar and curving around the back as well. The knit through the body is nubby and is slightly raised so has an extra dimension to it and I love the little cord that runs through the waist
