 A perfect  top to pair with a skirt for those cosy autumn walks!

Sport sweaters were popular in ther 90s, and were used for a variety of pursuits - from walking, cycling, mountaneering - whenever a comfy and warm garment was needed.

This particulart model is based on the existing gartment from circa 1895 ( Met museum), and could be used for late Victorian and early Edwardian portrayals - or for history bounding!

 It mirrors the original garment closely, including the buttoned up neck. The shoulders, for convenience are sewn shut, but the neck buttons up.

  Features:

 *  hand knitted in quality  100% wool yarn, in cream

 *  neck buttons  ( might differ slightly from model to model)

* voluminous sleeves, to be worn as they are - or to accomodate sleeve supports.

* knitwear - so streatchy! The sport sweaters from the era were still worn over a corset and the sweater is made to fit a corsetted form.

 

 * size UK size 12-14, stretchy. Ideal  for chest 38-42" (97-107cm), waist 30"-34" (76-86cm)
