    Description

    1950s Cole of California skirted bathing suit. Covered in tiny yellow flowers and trimmed in yellow.
    This bathing suit is a step-in style.
    Two layers of skirting on the sides and back give it the cutest ruffle butt. Fully smocked sides and back.
    The elastic is in good condition. Definitely not as tight as it probably was back in the day but still has stretch to it.
    The leg holes still have great stretch to the elastic.
    The strap can be completely removed and has three different levels for attaching it.
    The bust has a cotton liner with boning on the ends and elastic at the bottom - though it is not the tightest elastic.
    This is really hard to measure because of all the stretch.
    It is labeled a size Medium. It did fit me and I am a 34 D with a 28/29" waist.
    The first measurement is just laying flat and the second is the farthest I could stretch the suit comfortably.
    Across top: 15" - 18 1/2" across
    Bust: 15 1/2" - 18" across
    Waist: 14" - 15 3/4" across
    Hips (measured on the bottoms and not the skirt): 17" - 20"
    Length: 20" from center of top to the crotch.
    Please ask questions if you need any other measurements to help determine fit.
    No rips or stains.  The only issue is the somewhat stretched elastic.
