A hallmark of late '50s and early '60s fashion, the beaded cardigan remains iconic for good reason. This stunning piece by Lovely, made in Hong Kong, dates to the early '60s and is completely encrusted in sequins, with a satisfying weight that reflects its quality.
It features a slim silhouette that sits on the hips rather than the waist, is fully lined, and fastens at the front with hook-and-eye closures. The sequins shimmer beautifully, catching the light with every move—a truly special piece!
Condition: Excellent. Remarkably well-preserved for its age, with minimal sequin loss—just a few small areas showing wear.
Shown on an approx UK size 6 mannequin (B:34"/W:25"/H:34”)

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
