Late 1960s–1970s | Shimmer Knit Tank Top | Cream - 14

Description:

Item: Original late 1960s to 1970s acrylic knit tank top in a soft cream tone with an all-over textured diamond knit pattern, delicate openwork trims and subtle shimmery detailing running through the knit. Sleeveless cut with a neat straight fit through the body, giving it that clean, lightweight 60s into 70s silhouette.

Era: Late 1960s–1970s

Condition: Good vintage condition with nice overall presentation and plenty of wear left in it. There is some visible age-related discolouration/marking to the front, as photographed, but the piece still displays well and retains plenty of period charm.

Provenance Note: This is a lovely softer-side vintage knit, easy, feminine and very wearable. The subtle shimmer and textured pattern give it just enough interest without overwhelming the piece, and the sleeveless shape makes it especially useful layered up or worn on its own. A sweet late 60s into 70s top with real everyday appeal.

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.
