Here we have an ICONIC 1970’s Danskin dance leotard! (See listing photos for it featured on the cover of a 1970 Cosmopolitan) Women’s fashion in the 1970s can be considered a very beige attempt to return to modernity after the psychedelic, post-modern fashions of the 1960s. Exercise clothes experienced a major boom in this era and in 1974, Women’s Wear Daily reported that many department stores nationwide were planning to open exercise boutiques. The leotard and tights remained the fashionable woman’s main workout uniform. This piece is in pristine, never worn condition and would be perfect for dance, workout, or laying with your denim and other outfits! It has long sleeves, a fitted body silhouette, a scooping neckline, and of course the iconic and adjustable scrunching front neckline which adjusts with a button in the back for more or less cleavage. There is no label / size, but it fits like a Women’s Small / Medium (very stretchy).
