Beautiful vintage Elisabeth Stewart California one-piece swimsuit, likely dating to the late 1950s or 1960s. This is a wonderful example of structured mid-century swimwear with a fitted bombshell silhouette.
The suit is made from a substantial, somewhat stiff ivory/cream fabric and features dramatic gathered/ruching details along both hips. The bust is heavily structured with stiff shaping/darts, giving it the sculpted look associated with 1950s and early 1960s swimsuits.
Features include adjustable straps with gold-tone metal hardware, a back metal TALON zipper, fitted waist and built-in brief. Original woven Elisabeth Stewart California label remains attached.
No size tag is present. Please use measurements for fit, as vintage sizing differs considerably from modern sizing.
Approximate Measurements, laid flat:
• Armpit to armpit: 13.25”
• Length: 22”
• Straps are adjustable
The structured bust adds dimension, so the flat bust measurement does not represent the full circumference when worn.
Wonderful piece for a vintage swimwear collection, pinup wardrobe, fashion archive, photo styling or display.
Condition:
Preowned vintage condition with age-related wear. There is some scattered staining/discoloration visible on the ivory fabric. The original crotch lining has been removed (cut out). Metal hardware and zipper show normal age-related wear/patina. Please review all photos closely, as they are an important part of the condition description.
