Lost 1950s Sweaters Every Woman Owned (That Are Coming Back In Style)

In 1954, once the plates were dried and stacked, a woman cleared one end of the kitchen table, flattened a pattern leaflet under the sugar bowl, and started counting stitches. It took her most of a winter to finish one sweater - and she wore it for twenty years.

Almost every woman in America had a drawer full of sweaters like that. A little chain that held a cardigan on like a cape. A collar with nothing attached to it. A cardigan buttoned down the back. A cloud of pink angora that shed on everything. A cardigan covered in hand-sewn beads from Hong Kong.

Nearly every one of them is back in the stores this fall - usually at five times the price, and nobody mentions where the idea came from.

And the one I would bring back first never had a price tag at all.
