A very American look from the late 40s/early 50s, in practical chic with darling details. This bikini bottom has open sides laced in cotton braid, with a ruched center front seam and subtle darts to the side seams tucking the seat just so. Claire McCardell's ideas were very similar to this wonderful find, but alas, there are no labels. Measurements
Waist 24 to 26, Hip 35 to 40; Waist to Crotch 13 to 15.5 Inches Materials
Black cotton poplin with fine slubs, white cotton jersey knit, grayish white cotton braid Closure
Functional cotton laces to both sides Condition Detail
The black looks a bit faded from washings; the back has 5-6 holes, most are penpoint but two are 1/4-inch; the laces have minor graying/dye transfer where it meets fabric Wear Recommendation
Wearable Washing Instructions
Warm hand wash after wearing, shape and dry flat |
