Vintage 50s Cashmere Pullover Sweater Henley Collar M/L Altmann Peach VFG
There's almost nothing more luxurious than vintage cashmere, and afficianados know the Bernhard Altmann's sweaters are some of the best! This vintage 1950s pullover is very pretty. It has a front placket with rounded collar. 3/4 length sleeves feature rounded turn-up cuffs. The collar, cuffs, and bottom of the sweater are edged in creamy scallops, and have little white bubble accents. The sweater is fully fashioned, a construction technique no longer seen except in very high end sweaters.

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.
