I’m waiting for that Indian Summer, although I wont hold my breath, instead I’m scouring the lastminutes, eboookers, cheapo sun filled promise packages… in search of sunnier climes and fun times. I figure once I get the bikini sorted the rest will just fall into place which sent me on a vintage bikini voyage. Swimwear of the 50s -70s was made for us real women –lotsa support in all the right places, proper boobie cups, boy-leg shorts, even side zippers and partial corsets –all designed to accentuate the good curves and hide those unsightly bits we dread baring.

 

Not too keen on sporting the ol vintage brief section, nuff said, I came across a refreshing amount of cool vintage inspired cossies on the market. Here are some of my faves…

Sassy one-piece by pinupgirlclothing.com – Winehouse wig not included!

And Marilyn inspired ott one-piece below – too luscious for words!

 

 

 

50s inspired beauty from cuche.com – just love those ties and polka-dots!

 

Black and Leopard print sext two-piece by lolitagirlstore.com and classic two-piece in black by mybabyjo.com

 

 

Wherever you end up buying your swimmers girls, have a splashing good time – whether in itsy bitsies, skirted onesies or waterproofed bloomers, bare it and wear it proud – I know I plan to!
