Swim wear from the 50's


Vintage Swimwear

10SEP
I  have a fascination with vintage swim wear..probably due to the fact that they cover up most of the parts you hate on your body ( at least for me ) but still you can manage to look great in them ! Okay it does  not cover up my thighs :( on this one …I think I need to go to the roaring 20′s  for the true perfect fit for me :) :) LOL
Their was a magazine photo that I fell in love with ,and here is the out come of that photo!
The end of the fifties and new development in fabrics saw the discovery of Lycra or spandex this was to later revolutionize swim wear.
The 1950′s was the decade to get out and look good.Elegance was an important factor for fifties fashion. Hollywood also had a major role to play in influencing the 1950’s clothing.
