A lady's vintage classic English spencer vest.
Arachne "Snuggies" brand
All Wool
Made in England
Sleeveless
Off-white
Probably made in the 1950s, judging by the labels and sizing.
These vests are unsold shop stock from around the 1950s.
They still have an old hand-written shop tag attached, probably added in the early 1970s, judging by the decimal price (£5.99).
There are no garment care instructions, so I would suggest treating them as "dry clean only".
Size: One size (some are marked W, and some OS) This is a very stretchy material, with a loose knit. The unstretched bust size is 26" (66 cm), but it would comfortably stretch to fit at least 36" (92 cm). Length, shoulder to hem, is 21" (53 cm).
Condition:
This garment is unworn, and in beautiful condition. It is unsold shop stock from the 1950s or thereabouts. It still has an old 1970s hand-written shop tag attached. It has been properly stored, and as you can see, it is in lovely condition, with no damage. However, in view of its age, it should be dry-cleaned before use.***********
