More Classic 50s and 60s Authentic Vintage Swimear Finds

You know that feeling you get when you look at old photos of mom (or grandma) back when she was young and carefree, maybe before you were even born... She's on holiday at seaside, relaxing on the beach in a fantastic swimsuit and cat eye sunglasses... maybe wearing a great scarf or hat. There's a sense of mystery about who that fashionable young lady was, almost like you're looking at a photo of someone you've never met.

Your first thought might be, "Damn, my mom was hot." And your second thought might be, "Boy, I wish swimwear now was as drop-dead fabulous as it was back then!" Sadly... most modern swimwear that you get at the mall is flimsy, uninspired, disposable crap.

But luckily, there are still some of those classy vintage suits still around just waiting to be discovered by new generations. Now you can create memories for your future family who will one day look at charmingly kitschy old iPhone photos and wonder about the mysteriously beautiful young lady in the vintage suit.

Retro Pinup Glamour Swimwear : "Breathless Beauty" One-Piece Swimsuit from Broad Minded Clothing in Gorgeous Coral

We asked ourselves, "What would Marilyn be wearing if she was around today, lounging poolside at some fabulous resort?" The answer led to this new swimwear design: "Breathless Beauty" in gorgeous coral from Broad Minded Clothing.

Retro-style one-piece design, with a plunging halter top, cut low on the hips with full bottom coverage. The suit is ruched up the sides to camouflage the trouble zones. The halter style top is fully lined and ties at the back of the neck, so it can fit tightly or loosely on all bust sizes depending on your preference. Removable soft cups for your most flattering fit.

Available in sizes small through 2XL! (The suit is also available in turquoise and black, coming soon)
