Ladies 1900s Bathing Suit, Black [002442]

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.

If you ever wanted that stylish look at an inexpensive price this is the outfit for you. Don't forget the bloomers because they really make the outfit. People stop me wherever I go and ask me where I found my outfit. It's not just for the beach. I love it and I have fun wearing it.
Runs WAY too small Jun 29, 2010

Even the largest size is too small in the sleeves. The sizes are misleading.
Unbelievable quality for the money! Jun 29, 2010

At the price, I excepted something that would last through one event. This bathing suit is high quality fabric and construction. How they do it at this price is a mystery, but great for anyone who needs a vintage bathing suit. I definitely would recommend this product.

I looked at similar costumes elsewhere and they were much more expensive and a lot less accurate.
