Vintage Bathing Suits

[Pink Dahlia]

Actually, I was just thinking how thick my thighs look. My calves too in that photo.

If that's the case I must be obese!

I will kill you both if this becomes a "You're skinnier" "No, I'm too fat, YOU'RE skinnier" thread! Last thing we need in the lounge is that crap.

I can hardly wait to buy one.

I did a search on bathing suits before i posted and nothing came up.So thanks to who ever bumped this thread.

This is me in my vintage 50's swimsuit. I did have to take it in the back a bit.

Such a great photo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh!

Isn't it cute? I used to feature it in vintage bathing suit fashion shows, but never got to wear it myself - I let the other volunteer models have their pick, and you can bet this one was always chosen first (I usually ended up wearing a 20s wool one myself, as none of the girls ever picked that one).

Are you also the Ebayer I bought the pink and green suit from in September? They were a producer of vintage bathing suit shows... how many of you could there be?

I love you, Miss Bella Hell!
Besides, I'm fatter.

No, *I* am! lol Anyway, the winter is a great time to buy vintage suits. You can usually get them for under $20 around now!

 

[Decobelle]

No, it wasn't me. I don't sell 'em - I just buy 'em. I did the shows for a local museum for a historical exhibit they were doing on California swimwear; it's not an ongoing thing for me.

I love that style with the sarong skirt.

Since everyone else is posting, I might as well too!

Polkadot - that is so darling! And seasonally appropriate to boot. I'd kill for that figure.

Amen, sister! There's enough of that nonsense in the "real world".
