I got a gorgeous pair of 40s style trousers at Christmas - very wide legged, high waisted, turn-ups - but have realised most of my tops are too long for them. Can anyone suggest a good source of fitted 40s or 50s style knitwear? I used to buy the real thing in vintage shops but these days they're in short supply - true vintage seems to have become 80s upwards as older stuff wears out and gets rarer. There were lots of land girl style Fairisle jumpers a few years ago but I haven't seen any lately. Don't mind plain rather than patterned but has to be natural fibres rather than acrylic (probably fine wool, cotton, cashmere is out of my budget), waist length and fitted not longer/baggy (ruling out M&S, BHS etc) and I've stopped buying Boden knitwear as the last items I bought got bobbly and shapeless very quickly. If you can point me in the right direction, style gurus of MN?
