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.
