40s Deadstock Pink Swimsuit Playsuit With Gingham Trim$168.00
Professional construction from the Styled by Lee label. The suit is done in a celanese rayon fabric with good bit of stretch but still retains good structure. The suit is done in a bubble gum / Pepto pink featuring blue and white gingham piping trim and matching gingham covered buttons. The suit has interior boning with a killer bullet cup bust, a panel of hidden hook and eyes down the back and a sturdy metal zip closure. The gingham buttons are decorative but there are hidden plastic buttons from which to secure the optional convertible straps. There is an adorable 'apron" front design adding to the playsuit style, however the suit is also fully intended for use in the water. There is elastic around the back bodice and at the legs for comfort and a great fit.
Condition is listed as very good plus. The suit is deadstock with the original tag still attached. For this reason I have not cleaned or washed the suit. There is no structural damage, no missing elements. There are some age spots and general dust/soiling/must from decades of storage (please see final photo). All spots are minor and generally unseen without close inspection. These issues can be remedied at your discretion with a proper cleaning (cleaning is advised before wearing). NO overt stains, no fade. You will find the previously mentioned notations reflected in the price.
Such a killer true vintage suit with the cutest details. A rare treat to find, never worn with the tags still intact!
