Black Diamond Dancer Vintage Angora & Silk Blend Sweater

This is one of those rare vintage pieces that feels both artful and wearable. Crafted from a luxurious blend of angora, silk, and wool, this sweater features a black grounded base with a beautifully sculpted, hourglass silhouette created through intentional knit shaping — a true testament to vintage craftsmanship.

The neckline and shoulders are adorned with intricate gunmetal and silver sequin and beadwork, forming an elegant, leaf-like pattern that cascades from the shoulders toward the center of the sweater. The embellishment adds depth and shimmer without overpowering the design, giving the piece a refined, dimensional glow.

This sweater has been thoughtfully reworked due to age-related wear. A small hole was present at the shoulder when found, and rather than compromise the integrity of the knit, the fabric was tucked and secured to create a cap-sleeve finish. This adjustment not only conceals the original damage but also adds a strong shoulder line and intentional shape to the silhouette. A rhinestone is also missing within the embellishment, consistent with its vintage nature.

Styled tucked into high-waisted Western denim, this piece feels powerful, feminine, and undeniably special — a reminder that sparkle and shine deserve a place in everyday dressing, not just special occasions.

Please reference pre-loved condition notes prior to purchase.
