Vintage Swimsuits 1950s 1960s...Why we Love them.

This list contains a few of the many reasons we love vintage swim suits from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

These garments have something more that just the common vintage cuteness, more than plain vintage novelty.

Swimwear from the 40s 50s and 60s era have in common, features designed to enhance and flatter the female form. Period decorum called for the illusion of bare as opposed to actually showing it all.

Vintage maxi swim suit cover-up

Surfs up..Bottoms Covered...PLEASE! 

Get the coverage that you deserve.

Five reasons to purchase a Vintage swim suit.
  • A vintage swimsuit that is made of cotton, will not hug every bump and roll, (if you have that problem)
  • A vtg swim suit will most likely have a padded bra, which gives the bust more shape and form, (if that is a concern of yours)
  • Boning and heavy linings found in vtg swim wear, are there for shaping support and illusion, (if your natural waistline is not as natural as you would like).
  • The skirting on a Vintage swimsuit, covers up the koochie lines, and encourages the stranger to look you in the face instead.
  • Bottoms are cut fuller on Vtg swimsuits, and usually hug tight, just below your rear cheeks, giving you better coverage with less ride-up. (Retrieving the elastic leg openings, which have creeped up behind, is such a bummer)
