80s Striped Sweater Vintage Cropped Women's Pullover Sonia Rykiel Italian Medium VFG
This pullover probably dates to the early 80s. It features lightly padded shoulders, a vee-neck, sleeves that combine elements of batwing and kimono, and a snug cropped midsection. This would be a great choice to pair with wide legged pants. I love that the designer chose to use the "wrong" side of the striped knit for the outside - see closeup.
SIZE: Labeled 44, and difficult to measure due to the deepcut sleeves, and the stretchiness of the knit. Not pinned on Josephine. I wear a modern size 12, and it is snug but close enough to be tempting

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
