The Swimsuit

I'm not sure what exactly the history of the swimsuit is, but I do know that it's changed tremendously through the years.  I have a friend who has tons of fabulous vintage finds and of late she has decided to start parting with some of these pieces...including vintage swimsuits!

this off white suit is SO thick!  it's like wearing a wool suit.  But isn't the shape fantastic?

this is a sexy little number that  just screams sex kitten.  meow!
