Women's 80s Gem Sweater Cropped 90s Pullover Hong Kong Beaded Sequinned Pearls Mariea Kim VFG
This embellished 80s to 90s vintage sweater will be so much fun to wear! It is pullover style, with a mock turtleneck, padded shoulders, and dolman sleeves, fitting snugly below the waist. The front is lavishly embellished with stylized floral motifs, with additional beading and soutache extending down the outer sleeves. As a result of the glass beading, the sweater is fairly heavy at nearly 1.5 pounds.
SIZE: Labeled M, and measured without stretching. Since the style is intended to be over sized, there is leeway depending on what sort of fit you prefer.

FABRIC/COLORS: black knit, medium weight, wool/acrylic blend. Embellishments include tube and seed beads, some solid black and some black iridescent, plus gunmetal gray sequins, and antique-toned faux pearls, as well as black soutache with a hint of sparkle. Care tag recommends dry clean only, probably due to the embellishments.

CLOSURES: Three small black domed shank buttons at the back of the neck
CONDITION: I have replaced the thread loop for two of the three back-of-neck buttons. There is a lingering scent of perfume which should dissipate with some time in fresh air. No stains, holes, tears, or other issues noted.
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.
