1970s | Cuddle Knit | Ruffle Collar Knit Top - 12

Description:

Item: Original 1970s Cuddle Knit top in a soft cream tone with a delicate ruffle collar, tie neckline and matching ruffle cuffs. Fine open knit construction with a gently fitted cut through the body, giving it that neat, feminine 1970s silhouette. A lovely soft piece with subtle romantic detailing that works beautifully as an everyday knit or dressed-up vintage top.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Cuddle Knit

Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. Presents well with a clean shape, soft colour and tidy finish through the collar, cuffs and hem. Light general wear consistent with age, but no obvious major issues visible from the provided image.

Provenance Note: This is a very sweet example of the softer, more romantic side of 1970s knitwear. The ruffled neckline and cuff detail give it real charm, while the simple cream palette keeps it easy to wear and style. A lovely period top with a gentle feminine feel, and the sort of piece that adds quiet character to a rail.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
