Pretty in Pink! Fuzzy fluffy furry vintage 60s mohair cardigan. A classic piece!

Description

I do so love vintage mohair!  Yes, it's not as soft and can be scratchy, but nothing else has quite the same aura...so reminiscent of a simpler time.  I feel like a 60's housewife...scurrying around the house, running errands and baking pies and yummy things to eat.  I'll take the station wagon down to the grocers if I run out of sugar...or I'll pop over next door and see if sweet Mrs. Johnson has some I could borrow.  The man of the house will be home from the office by 5 and I'd like to have a treat ready for him...
This one is almost certainly a hand-crafted item as it has no tags and does show the little irregularities that are characteristic of a custom creation.  Not really flaws, just the things that add character.  Still a lovely and pretty sweater that wears as well today as it did 60 years ago...
I'll guess the size as a woman's Medium, based on the measurements and how it fits me.  The bust measures 17.5 inches from armpit to armpit, with the buttons fully closed.  I can't button it up over my 36D bust without pulling the buttons out of the very loose button holes, but I enjoy my cardigans open or with only one or two buttons closed anyway.  I do like the fit through my shoulders and armpits though.  The overall length is around 24 inches from shoulder to hem and the sleeves are 16 inches from armpit to cuff...which makes them 'bracelet length', as was the style of the day.  An absolutely iconic fuzzy mohair cardigan in bubblegum pink that's just about as sweet as the pie you are making!
I did hand wash this vintage beauty in lavender oil Eucalan, conditioned it and carefully brushed it out to restore it's fluffy texture...so it's all refurbished and ready to enjoy!  Make this classic sweater yours today!
Welcome to my world...it's a soft and fluffy place to be!  Won't you come join me?

**General fuzzy sweater disclaimer:  I sell fluffy sweaters, mostly angora and mohair with a few alpaca and wool items from time to time as well.  Some people are sensitive to the fibers in garments like this and find them to be itchy.  I personally don't find that to be the case, but please use your own judgement before bidding on my items as some people are more sensitive than others.  If I describe a sweater as soft, it is because that is how it feels to me, but some people may want to wear a layer underneath.  Natural fiber garments also may shed due to the nature of the fibers.  This is not a defect but is a normal aspect of this type of clothing.  Sometimes care may be needed when pairing fuzzy sweaters with other clothes to ensure that the loose fibers don't leave fuzz on your skirt or pants, etc.
**A few other things to note:  I'm selling off my own (very large) personal collection of natural fiber sweaters.  All are meticulously cared for and are clean and ready to wear.  My household is smoke and pet free and I hand wash and condition my sweaters with mild soap and cool water, never dry clean.  I always brush/comb each sweater after wearing to remove any pills or matting and to restore the fluffy texture.  All of my sweaters were purchased second hand by me, so I don't know the history prior to my owning them.  Many I've never worn, some I've worn only a few times and some I've worn many times.  If I've worn the sweater recently, it may still smell like whatever fragrance I wore with it, so please keep that in mind.  I try my best to accurately describe each sweater and the condition it is in, but please feel free to ask any questions prior to bidding.  I'll be happy to respond quickly to any and all inquiries as long as they are appropriate and respectful.  For reference, I'm around a 36D in the bust and am about 5ft 6in tall and I'm the one wearing each sweater in the pictures so you can see how they fit me.   Know your own measurements, and compare the ones listed with a similar garment you already own.
**I'll gladly combine shipping for multiple purchases, just please wait to pay till I send you an invoice with your total.  Don't forget to see my other auctions for more lovely soft and fuzzy angora and mohair sweaters and do add me to your favorite sellers list as I have much more to offer!
