Description

Adorable 50s Bombshell Catalina one piece swimsuit.

This suit is part of the swimsuit line "Part of the Art of Eve" as shown in the last photo.  Very popular suits of that era.

The fabric is a rich green Hawaiian style cotton barkcloth. As this is 100% cotton, there is no stretch (exception to a little stretch in the panels).

The two straps are attached by buttons in the back.  There is a bra lining and elasticized side/back panels.   The elastic at the bottom of the bra is no longer stretchable.  The elasticized panels do have a bit of stretch to them.  There is a 13" back zipper.  

A vintage size 14, the suit measures 38" chest, shoulder to hem 27.5", 21" underarm to hem, 40" hips, leg inseam 1.5", 22" inseam center (crotch) to front seam top of bra, 18.5" total strap length with 3 adjustable button holes. 

This suit has been gently hand washed before photos or listing.

Check out the photos.  This is an amazing find.

Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail and based on your zip code.
