80s Vintage Gem Sweater Women's Pullover Long Sleeve Black Medium VFG
I've seen a lot of 80s gem sweaters, but this one is particularly blingy. The sweater is styled with a stand-up collar and slouchy shoulders -
SIZE: No size label. Measurements taken without stretching
| Measurements | Inches | Cm |
| Bust | 36" | 92 |
| Shoulders | 19" | 48.25 |
| Bottom hem circumference | 24" | 61.5 |
| Length from back of neck | 23" | 58.5 |
| Sleeve length | 20" | 51 |
FABRIC/COLORS: Black knit, medium weight. There is nowhere to snip a bit of fabric or thread, so I have not been able to do a fiber burn test. It has a crisp feel to the fingers. The swirling gold patterns are done with flat braid. The "gems" are about 1/3 brass domes, and the rest are faceted glass rhinestones of varying sizes, from about 1/8" up to the large ovals at 1/2 x 1".
TAGS: No tags at all, but clearly professionally made.
CLOSURES: A short nylon zipper at the back of the neck
CONDITION: There is a light perfume scent from a previous owner. No other issues noted - no stains, holes, or tears.
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.
