With the heat of summer in full swing, knitting may sound a little crazy but this curve-hugging sleeveless dress is perfect for the office or a movie date in the dark, cold air conditioning with this sweet little bulky cardigan to keep the chill off your shoulders.
The jacket has a large collar, ribbed sleeve cuffs and 6 over-sized buttons.
This 1955 ensemble is in blocked bust size of 34-38 inches and the blocked jacket is 35-39 inches. If you need help resizing this pattern, check the vintage knitting resources at the bottom of this post.
I don't know if I'll ever get around to knitting an entire dress but that jacket in mint green would be perfect don't you think?

I enjoy reading your blog. There is always something interesting to learn. I don't knit a lot, but that doesn't keep me from being fascinated by the ingenuity of women to look their best! I don't usually comment, but I do appreciate your work. Thank you!
