60s Barbarella-style "midas Touch Swimsuit$425.00
Absolutely INCREDIBLE Metallic "Midas Touch" Swimsuit made by DeWeese Designs Swim Fashions in 1968. This is from my personal collection. Tried it on once and never wore it. Before me, it was never worn at all. This is giving me Barbarella goes to the beach vibes. Completely glamorous and wildly chic. I have never seen another out there for sale.
The dress is constructed of stripes of metallic gold, silver and copper. Copper straps with 3 button holes so you can criss cross them or adjust as needed. Built in molded cup bra with loads of support. The hem is "car wash fringed"The top pulls over the head with the only closures being the buttons on the straps. High waist gold briefs. Full coverage rear. Low cut legs. The bottoms pull on the body and have a nylon gusset at the crotch.
**Please note- this set does not have very much stretch. It has some "give" but excessive stretching will damage the fabric**
