Early 60s one piece swim suit with pleated skirt. No tags, but I did a little research and found it to be by Catalina. I'm guessing the aqua, lime green and periwinkle blue fabric is a nylon blend, lightweight with no stretch. Bathing suit has a built in bra with boning over the bust. Scoop neck with adjustable straps, it has darts at the bust and blousons into a band at the waist. Elastic at the legs with a pleated overlay skirt. Metal zipper in back. Original belt included, (these are usually lost over the years). There are a few condition problems: there is no lining inside the bodice front (not noticeable from the outside). The leg elastic is slightly stretched out in back and some seams have been resewn. Still it's a fun piece and could be worn as is, or give it a little TLC to restore it. Pin up romper play suit, fab at a beach party!
