Curvy Month 5: Flattery in Colour Contrast, c. 1957

I do love a good 1950s sweater/jumper – and the neckline on this one is so interesting! It’s knit in a contrast colour, and also accented by capped sleeves.

The pattern comes from 1957, but I feel like it works for earlier (Australia was a few years behind the rest of the fashion world).
