SO FREQUENTLY, I see swimsuits advertised on Etsy and ebay as "1950s" when they're really from the '60s or even '70s. HERE are a couple of classic mid-century swimsuits. Notice that they are fitted, they are intricate, they are boned, they are essentially corset-like dresses sans skirt. You can't see it from here, but I guarantee they zip up the back. They do NOT contain Lycra/Spandex, which wasn't even INVENTED until 1959! (July 1952 LIFE Magazine Archive, Photo by Nina Leen)

Christina Thompson Fabulous
Pamela Lewis wish I could see the front too
This vintage slip was beautiful before I did anything to it but after I finished layering it with vintage and new cream and white laces, it is stunning. I machine embroidered vines around the waist and underbust to go with the flower embroidery that was already on the upperbust and hemline. Vintage laces and trims are sewn on the front and back of the bodice. The chiffon at the bottom tapers off 5 inches from front to back. A little piece of lace from an antique wedding dress is sewn into the center bodice where the sashes start for "something old". I think it would be beautiful worn with a thin petticoat for a fuller look and a pair of vintage boots for a Fall Garden Wedding. Bust - up to 36 inches Waist - up to 30 inches Hips - up to 40 inches Length - tapers from 39 inches in the front to 43 inches in the back (I can make this longer) We repurpose vintage slips and corsets using a combination of vintage and new laces, buttons and fabrics. Some of our slip dresses have romantic unfinished edges, some are over dyed, tattered, torched and weathered. Memories of your mother, grandmother or some famous Hollywood starlet, wearing a slip, evoke a feeling of romance and nostalgia in all us girls.
