Curvy Month 4: Ellen, a smart jacket c. 1940s

I’m always partial to a knitted jacket, they were very popular in the 40s and look oh-so-smart.

This lovely jacket has a lovely Greek key type design at the chest made from purl stitches – simple and striking. Also those strong 1940s shoulders, and a cute little collar.
