1950s Vintage Lofties by Lawrence Wool Chenille Dark Pink Sweater with Angora Collar - Xs to Sm
A coveted 50s Lofties knit… in dark pink - almost fuchsia! The Lofties brand produced some of THE BEST knits in my opinion, and this little gem is no exception! The figure hugging sweater is in the prettiest pink. The sweater even has a lovely collar detailing in what feels to be angora- with some rhinestone button detailing! The sweater buttons up the front and features an ever so slight dolmen sleeve, which creates that coveted and sleek silhouette! There are belt loops, but the original belt is sadly gone. Label is for “Lofties by Lawrence” and fabric is wool chenille. There is some give to the fabric. It would likely best fit a modern Extra Small or Small. The measurements provided are of the sweater NOT stretched. For reference model is modern size 4/6.

Measurements NOT Stretched :
Bust: about 35 inches (these are dolman style sleeves) model is 34 b for reference
Hem: 25 inches
Length: 19 inches
Sleeve Length: about 15 inches cuffed, but there is no shoulder seem to measure from
Good vintage condition - Overall wear to sweater with minor pilling and pulls to knit, though it is a nubby texture to begin with so it is not too obvious. The underarm wool seems to have felted a bit as it feels a bit thicker there. Minor marks to tag and the inside underarms. The most obvious flaw is some pulling of the button cover fabric to the second to bottom button. Some of the rhinestones on the collar are either cloudy or not as brilliant as others. It looks like there may have been a few teeny tiny mends here and there in the past, but honestly its difficult to tell - I have provided some images at the end of what I mean. The angora collar likes to shed a tiny bit.
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.
