Another sweater dilemma

[Robin of Frocksley]

This super sparkly ruffly sweater is so fun, but I've had no luck finding any info on it. Any clues on dating and describing this style?

1970's and I would be calling it a flamenco style lurex evening top, you could call those flutter sleeves, ruffled sleeves, and a wide ruffled collar.

Thanks! Flamenco hits the nail on the head

Love the top. So cute.

I have a ? about this. I have a 1970s pantsuit of similar type fabric blend.
Mine is shedding (for lack of better word) a bit of the fabric or glitter?
Any ideas how to stabilize it? Not too much but a bit.

Foofoogal it is likely to be made from mixed fibres and one of them is a plastic that has broken down. I had this on a dress which was labelled Orlon bonded with nylon. Unfortunately there is nothing to stop the shedding. I don't know what happens if you try and beat most of it out - the remaining fibre may or may not be strong or predominant enough to retain the garment's structure.
I find it a lot in the lining fabric of boots from the 60's and 70's, and occasionally cheaper 80's items.

Thanks. I am going to take it to cleaners and ask them.
