VINTAGE 1997 SUSAN BRISTOL CASUALS SLEEVELESS PASTEL SWEATER VEST HAND EMBROIDERED, PATCHWORK STYLE – RIBBON FLOWERS

This exquisite Susan Bristol sweater vest is a standout piece of 1990s craftsmanship, beautifully hand knit and hand embroidered in a soft pastel palette of mint green, pink, lavender, and white. The mixed‑section patchwork layout, delicate ribbon flowers, and textured knit blocks create a refined yet whimsical look that feels both feminine and timeless.

The sleeveless silhouette makes it perfect for warm‑weather layering, while the mint‑green collar and pearl‑like buttons add an elegant sheen. A charming functional pocket with a flap and button enhances the vest’s unique character, and the back continues the coordinated pastel artistry.

Full of personality and meticulous detail, this piece embodies the romantic charm Susan Bristol is known for. Style it with a puff‑sleeve blouse, a flowing skirt, linen pants, or natural accessories to enhance its soft, countryside‑inspired elegance.

Era: 1997 Condition: Exceptional, appears unworn. Knit, embroidery, and colors are vibrant and beautifully preserved.

A truly special vintage find for those who appreciate feminine, handcrafted knitwear.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
