Sweater Girl's Essential Sweater
Ivory
Other colors
The perfect 1940s style sweater girl sweater in ivory merino wool from Emmy Design.
The sweater girl's staple sweater is the ideal everyday top for the cold season. The beautiful knit sweater is made of 100% soft merino wool, so it keeps you warm even though it has short sleeves.
The sweater features a sweet round neckline and small pleats at the sleeves. In front, the sweater has the same beautiful twists as you find on Emmy's bestseller 'The Ice Skater Cardigan', making it perfect to wear with our favorite cardigan.
The twist pattern is on the upper part of the blouse and goes down into a decorative V.
The knit sweater fits close to the body and ends with a wide ribbed edge, giving it the perfect vintage look.
The blouse is made of 100% soft merino wool. The wool is from mulesing-free Australian sheep.
- Wear it with the lovely bottoms from Emmy's autumn/winter collection.
- Wear the same color Ice Skater, or mix and match

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Sweater Girl's Essential Sweater in Ivory
The details
Collars, buttons, sleeves or prints can make all the difference and give the look more personality.
Styling options
Wear it with high-waisted jeans, trousers or a skirt. Button it up for a classic look or tie it at the waist for a more relaxed retro feel.
Styling tip
Shirts and blouses work especially well with high-waisted bottoms because they can be styled into the waist and create a flattering silhouette.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
Find the right vintage-inspired top or shirt
Our vintage-inspired tops, blouses and shirts feature feminine fits that accentuate the waist and pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashion, when puff sleeves, elegant collars, tie-neck details, flattering necklines and fitted silhouettes were among the era’s characteristic features.
We always recommend checking the bust and waist measurements for each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage-inspired shirts are made from non-stretch fabrics and have a looser fit, while other tops contain stretch and fit closer to the body. Choose the vintage-inspired top or retro shirt that suits the look you want – from a relaxed everyday outfit to classic 1940s style, feminine 1950s fashion or a colourful 1960s look.
