I believe this lovely set may've been homemade, judging from the craft room at the estate this was found in - such talent! I adore the combination of knit and crochet, and in a lovely, superbly soft non-itch Orlon acrylic - so 60s in material and style - the Jackie O in a knit set! The only fault I can find is the gap between where the top of the zipper hits, and the button closure at the waist. I believe the button was moved to make a more generous waistline, and can easily be moved smaller, which would close that gap. Also, the sweater should cover that, and a soft pink or off-white slip will be needed underneath, anyway. The stitch of the sweater collar and cuffs match the offers loose stitch of the skirt. This is a set that can go to the office or out for an evening cocktail or Mad Men style party!

Measurements are of the actual garment, not of a body. When possible to estimate, we will give "best fit" measurements. It is always recommended to have your measurements taken by an experienced tailor. To compare your own garment to that of the shown vintage, do NOT stretch, many older vintage garments have very little stretch or wiggle room. If you are particularly tall or petite, you may want to write for different ratio measurements. I base the ratios of my measurements on my own "average" size, 5'4". When possible, I try on a garment to check where certain hit spots are - such as an under bust on an originally juniors item may be narrower than an average woman's rib cage or under bust, or the shoulder seam placement, as that varies from era to era. Someone who is taller or knows that their torso is longer (or has a fuller bosom) may want to check the shoulder to waist ratio, which is not commonly added.
