A gorgeous 50s swimsuit from 'Demoiselle' featuring a vibrant midcentury print. This classic 'princess' style bathing suit boasts a sweetheart neckline and a 'skirted' bottom. The shaped bust contrasts beautifully in white cotton, with ruching throughout the entire back. The removable halter neck allows for sunbathing convenience and secures with hooks. There is no closure, and the piece is pulled up over the hips.
Condition: This beauty would have been elasticated at the back, but sadly, with time, it has expired. Consequently, it no longer offers any stretch and fits larger than intended. While still wearable as is, it could benefit from reinforcement with new elastic if preferred. Additionally, the white cotton at the bust is slightly discoloured with age. The suit is unlined at the crotch and body, but features cotton lining at the bust. A darling little swimmer that needs a little TLC but remains gorgeous!

XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
