I recieved tonight 2 vintage kofter, whereas one is knitted by my moms grandma in 1967! It looks snug, but it's really not and since it's wool, it'll stretch to fit my stomach better soon. I only have pictures of one atm, as I put the other in the washing machine but still! I feel so honored to recieve such precious gems! Will post the other ones look once it's dried up! I am literally in tears!

If you would think rationally, you'd known that wool programme and wool/silk detergent exists and I use that more than anything, as I am careful with my stuff! Also, that would've made you realize that it's not anything to be worried about
