Nan Dorsey 1950s Black Wool Full-Fashioned Beaded Bolero with Tulle Hem

Label: Nan Dorsey — 100% Wool Full-Fashioned, WPL 8383 | Circa: 1950s–early 1960s | XS
 
A beautiful 1950s Nan Dorsey black wool full-fashioned bolero with exceptional detailing. Black jet bead embroidery along the neckline and cuff edges, a velvet ribbon tie at the center front, and a dramatic tulle ruffle hem that fans out below the cropped body. The 'full-fashioned' construction — where the garment is shaped during knitting rather than cut — is a quality indicator of the era. The combination of beading, velvet, and tulle elevates this well above a standard vintage sweater. WPL 8383 label dates this to the 1950s–early 1960s. Sell on the 1950s beaded bolero quality and detail rather than the label name.
