BRB while I literally weep over the fact that this doesn't fit me... This is a DREAM FIND! A spectacular 1950s three-piece beachwear set from 'Renjoy'. I mean... COME ON. Cut from a mid-century abstract floral/leaf print cotton, this set is comprised of shirred bottoms, a longline skirted bodice, and a matching sleeveless jacket. The bottoms may look absolutely tiny -- but they do stretch!
They are high-waisted and 'bloomer' style, with shirred legs and waist. They have a '26' label and are unlined. The top is a bustier style with a boned bust and back, adjustable halter neck, and skirted hem. It secures with a zip and hook and eye at the back. The little sleeveless jacket is cropped and collared, with two mother-of-pearl buttons to close.
Condition: It looks to have never been worn. HOWEVER, this has been affected by moths at some point in its life. There are quite a few small moth pinholes on each piece, but these are barely noticeable and shouldn't worsen with wear. I have included a lot of photos of these; the worst two have been mended.

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
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.
