How darling is this little number? A proper shirred sweetheart! This 1950s bathing suit is a beautiful blend of the 'princess' and 'bubble' styles, featuring a sweetheart neckline, halter neck, and a 'skirt' that covers the bloomer-style bottoms. Made of lovely and vibrant printed blue cotton, it boasts button-attached straps for sunbathing convenience. This piece has no closure and is pulled up over the hips. Although it has a tag, the writing has faded with time.
Condition: Some dislocation at the crotch that has not budged with a wash and some scattered small marks that merge in with the print

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.
