Jayne White 1950s Cardigan

Be the epitome of 1950s Sweater Girl style in our exquisite Winter White Cardigan. This vintage-inspired design, impeccably made in the UK, is meticulously crafted to flatter your figure, thanks to the carefully considered waistband that hugs your curves for an hourglass silhouette. The classic round neckline adds a timeless, period-correct touch, while the crisp, elegant white hue makes this cardigan a versatile wardrobe essential.

Woven from a premium blend of 50% cotton and 50% acrylic, this cardigan offers unparalleled softness and a luxurious, plush feel against the skin. The high-quality construction ensures exceptional durability, so you can enjoy this wardrobe staple for years to come. Elevate your vintage-inspired outfits with the effortless sophistication of our Winter White 1950s Cardigan.

Our Jayne Cardigan is intended to have a close, figure-flattering fit. While I (Katie) often size down in our knitwear, I find a Medium provides the perfect balance of a snug, Sweater Girl-inspired look. For a tighter, more fitted silhouette, you may want to size down, or size up for a more relaxed, oversized fit - the choice is yours!

Clothing sizing

Our clothing sizing is generally inline with other reproduction vintage brands from Vivien of Holloway to House of Foxy and Trashy Diva. The waistlines will be a cut a little closer to the body than commercial vintage brands such as Collectif and Voodoo Vixen so if you wear those brands it would be worth checking your waist measurement.

The chart below shows the body measurements we work to. Our clothing is cut bigger than these measurements to allow for movement and ease and you can find the actual measurements for each garment on the tabs below. Note, your measurements should be smaller than the actual measurements to allow for movement!

Jane Knitwear

Our Jayne 1950s Cardigan is designed to be close fitting.

While I (Katie) often size down in reproduction vintage knitwear for our knitwear (as a UK size 12, US size 8, bust 37"), I wear a Medium which gives a nicely fitted look. It would be possible for me to wear a Small if I wanted a super tight sweater girl look , or size up to a Large for a looser fit.

It really depends on how you want to wear and style your knitwear.

Small: UK 8 -10, US 4-6 bust measures 34-42", 86-106.50cm

Medium: UK 12-14, US 8-10 bust measures 36-42", 91.5-112cm

Large: UK 14-16, US 10-12, bust measures 38-46", 96.5-117cm

X Large; UK 18+, US 14+, bust measures 40-48”, 101.5-122cm
