Ladies 1900s Bathing Suit, Navy [002383]

Make a splash in our vintage styled swimsuit. As more people flocked to beaches, the bathing garments became more fitted and shorter much to the dismay of the conservative bystanders. This well tailored sailor suit was the height of beach fashion in the 1890’s and early 1900’s and would even pass the Beach Patrol’s whose job was to ensure that ladies’ skirts were not too short.

For modesty and authenticity, pair with our pantaloons and mobcap. Our version features the most popular naval middy collar with a v-neck front and large square flap across the back, which has contrasting trim. Authentic details include an attached contrasting bow tie, cap sleeves, and contrasting trim at the sleeves and ruffled skirt bottom. Skirt measures approximately 26 inches in length from set in waist.

Imported. Made of 97% Cotton and 3% Spandex for comfort. Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle and hang to dry or dry clean. Also available in white with black trim. Offered in sizes S-3X.

PLEASE NOTE: This item runs SMALL. Please verify your measurements and check the sizing chart. If you have questions, please call us.

Excellent quality, and absolutely darling in person! Size chart is very accurate, I couldn't be happier with this outfit.
Sized too small! Jul 20, 2010

The site warning on sizing is correct, but it doesn't go far enough - these suits are impossible for larger ladies to wear, even at the largest sizes! I am a size 16 so I thought I would be safe ordering a 2XL. However, I could not fit the dress over my shoulders; also, the sleeve cuffs were so tight they were cutting off circulation, and there was no visible way to adjust them. The service was great about processing the order and then issuing a refund later, but it was still a disappointing experience overall.
