A fantastic cardigan heavily inspired by the 'Datemaker' style very popular in the early and mid 1940s. Based on a knitwear pattern from the 1940s, you cant get more wartime 1940s than this beauty!

This lovely cardigan is the perfect partner for vintage style separates and dresses alike.

Style creates that classic 1940s silhouette with strong squared shoulders and nips in at the waist with adjustable slide belt. Cardigan style is open at the front with rounded neckline. Stitch is a simple wide rib on sleeves and main body with a finer stitch on shoulders which creates a yoke effect. Stitch creates an attractive twist effect on sleeves.

Belt feeds through a bakerlite style buckle at front - requires belt to loop back to secure.

Key Features:-
- open front
- rib stitch
- bakerlite style buckle

Fabric: 50% wool 50% acrylic
Length from centre back to waist: approx 46cm

Lovely cardigan

True to size and to colour, this cardigan highlights the waist nicely. The belt comes undone after a while (despite having looped it back), but it's a simple matter of tying it back again, and not much of a bother. If you have a larger bust, note that not much fabric will cover it, which I personally don't mind in this style, but if you think you would, you might want to size up.

Warm and lovely

This cardigan is very elegant and comfortable. The color is very chic. I ordered a size small and it's perfect to wear above another piece of clothes (I'm usually a HOF size 8).

Lovely, but…

The colour is great: almost a coral kb me and I find it really illuminating for my pale complexion.

I love the knit; it feels great, with a pleasing weave and overall shape. I do think it looks lovely. While I do wish HoF things were a bit more generous on the bust in general, this isn’t too bad in that respect and this is definitely a me problem. In fact it feels great. The one issue is the belt; I find that even pulling it back through the clasp, it’s still not that secure.

Excellent quality

First true to size. If you prefer a looser fit i recommend going up a size. Pairs well with dresses and blouses.

Beautiful

I love this style and the colors this season are awesome! Pairs well with skirts, dresses, and trousers, making it a welcome addition to any vintage-style wardrobe. Works well with modern pieces too.
