1950s Rose print strapless Kittiwake swimsuit - Extra small

A super fun bright 1950s swimsuit, in stretchy satin-backed lastex fabric, printed with wonderful Picasso esque florals in red, orange, teal blue, and green against white. With low low backline and back zip fastening, from the Kittiwake label. Would originally have had a removable strap hooking through loops concealed inside the front neckline, however is now strapless

Chest 34”

Waist up to around 27

Hip to 35

Centrefront to crotch just under 22”

Presents excellently, with a few condition notes which aren't noticeable when worn; a printing flaw of speckled black at one hip, and 3 small nibble holes to side seam area- the fabric is naturally very strong and durable. A few ochre coloured marks to inside only, which may also be from the dyeing process as pictured. Half of the gusset jersey lining has been snipped out which doesn't affect wear, and there is also one of the ochre spots here NOT of unpleasant origin!
