Appliquéd Cashmere Sweater
Gorgeous antique silk embroidery has
been painstakingly cut from a Chinese
silk shawl and lovingly appliquéd onto
this soft French blue cashmere sweater.
Another sweater from our talented
Southern lady, she made over 100 in her
lifetime. This one dates from the late
1950's and is done in the style of Helen
Bond Caruthers. Exquisite cream colored
silk embroidery adorns the neckline,
front opening and sleeves of this
sweater. The buttons have been removed,
the button holes concealed, the cuffs
and waistband turned under for a sleek,
fitted look. The sweater is lined in a
matching blue silk with a hand sewn
feather stitch embellishment. This
lovely vintage sweater is in excellent
condition.
