There's three plastic buttons which close the front; this is a matinee jacket, meant to splay open over a nappy rather than fasten completely shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo label survives, as is typical of home crochet from this period. The shell-stitch mesh body, puffed set-in sleeves, and ribbon-threaded yoke are all hallmarks of matinee jacket patterns that were passed hand to hand through the 1960s, the kind of pattern a woman might have kept in a drawer for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is worked in an open shell stitch that lets the weave show through, gathered into puffed long sleeves finished with a scalloped cuff. Small plastic buttons sit at the front neck doing quiet structural work while the ribbon does the decorative work. The hem finishes in the same soft scallop as the cuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44198522126470,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_4335.jpg?v=1785391294","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/bow-stitch-handmade-1960s-70s-crochet-matinee-jacket","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
