1940's Bikini!








From the seller:


A drop dead 1940's vintage pinup swimsuit with a yellow/gold satin stripe. The skirt has inserted jersey cotton panties and the halter top is lined in the same fabric. The skirt has side button closures.

VINTAGE ~~ 1940's

LABEL ~ ~

FABRIC ~ ~~ ~ cotton & rayon

MEASUREMENTS ~~ Skirt - 14" from the top of the waistband to the hem in the center, 12 1/2" length from waist to the side of the hemline, 25" waist. Halter top about a 36", maybe a B cup?

CONDITION ~~ You can see in some of the photos that there's some specks/spots on both the top and the skirt. Hopefully with a good soak they'll come out? Otherwise this glamorous 40's vintage swimsuit is in great vintage condition.


From Me:

Normally, I wouldn't consider posting something this late but this is just too cute and too rare not to be posted.

  2. Although it is normally credited as being invented in 1947, two-piece swimwear has been recorded in history as early as the fourth century and was used regularly by Roman women. But it is in the last sixty years where the bikini has become synonymous with the beach. Bikini

  3. It is said that the word 'two-piece' is named after 'Swimsuit Atoll' which is a spot in Marshall Islands where atomic weapons are tried. It was named so on the grounds that a two-piece makes an eruption of fervor that is much the same as a nuclear bomb.

  6. It is additionally maybe because of the way that men in style are an oddity. In the past men in style were considered to be gay or exceptionally certain of themselves and their capacities to forego more critical open positions in the ordinary world. Linen fashion
