Bombshell Vintage 1950s Shrug Sweater, Felt Roses, Rhinestones

Absolutely fantastic vintage 1950's shrug style cropped sweater with 3/4 length sleeves. Would best fit modern sizes 6/8/10 however, please reference measurements below to ensure accurate fit. Cream colored wide kint sweater with fun loopy texture. Machine knit trim. Embellished with chenille and satin stems, and roses of yarn and felt. Four of the roses have single rhinestone accents on a petal. Roses are pink, dark pink and fuchsia in color. Sweater is in great condition except for a snag at the neckline facing interior (won't be seen when worn). Tag reads "Exclusive Fashions by Rosanna." No other garment markings. I assume the fabric to be a wool acrylic blend. Measurements as follow:

Armpit to Armpit (back): 19 1/2"
Sweater Length: 17 1/2"
Sleeve Length from Top of Shoulder: 17"
Sleeve Lenght from Armpit: 10"
Armpit Opening: 16" Diameter
Sleeve Width (Flat, So Double): 5 3/4"
Arm Cuff Interior: 9 1/2" Diameter

Vintage Condition: Excellent
