"Iconic" sweaters from the 1940s!

I bet Diana is wearing a Chrissy Norman jumper.

 

Have you checked on pinterest Linda?
I see some boards related to her.

 

Linda, do you wear all (or most or some of) your fabulous sweaters?

And wow, I really want the set with the bleeding heart dripping down the skirt. Fab!

 

Yeehaw on the Vargas find Linda. Wowee.

A 1941 newspaper had an article that stated: "The Strand is presenting an entirely adequate show this week...It is called 'Hollywood Sweater Girl Revue' and features such sweater-wearing screenettes as Mary Healey, Anne Nagel, and Barbara Pepper."

From a different 1941 newspaper is the publicity below...

Found this link. Cute sweater.

 

Wow, deadstock. How fabulous. Love the guy in the plane on the tag.

 

The label supplies a lot of additional info - what price it originally retailed for, what sizes it came in, who it was aimed at. Great share.

 

I love this thread. I had and recently sold the Ranger sweater and yesterday was excited to find the totem sweater in white and blue. Always a thrill to find.

 

holy smokes! everything about that oil rig sweater is fabulous!

 

How fun. Love it. Now I will be on lookout for more with this theme.

Side note to Alice.
That gorgeous red beaded cashmere cardigan in your shop is to die for.
Wish it fit me.

 

I saw a 50s Off white with purple patterns wool shawl in a thrift shop. It so beautiful but there are couple holes on it. :(

 

Linda, I meant any clothing with this theme like the scarf I posted. Love your sweaters.

Linda that racing car design appears to be based on early british racing car, and the colour goes with the theme - it's known in the trade as racing green, and many a vintage car will be painted this colour. A fact I only know because both my father and uncle have vintage cars!

 

Love them all - particularly the piano keys and music notes.
