November 29 2009: Pool Party (Bonus Post)

Published November 29, 2009

It  was 34 degrees at 10am today so it was a good day to go for a swim. But I couldn’t betray Vintage November and wear a modern pair of swimmers.So I brought out this swimsuit that I bought at a Caloundra op-shop a couple of years ago.

I think this one might be from the sixties – before lycra anyway. I have a couple of pairs of vintage bathers. The other pair are bikinis from the sixties, very bright and paisley. I regret not buying a fantastic pair of speedos in a Canberra op-shop a few years ago. I think about them often and wonder why I didn’t snap them up.

I would prefer these ones without the skirt as the togs underneath are quite flattering. I don’t like the inbuilt bra, it’s uncomfortable and makes that very unnatural shape. It also has buttons on the straps to adjust the length.

Don’t forget to check out my actual dress from today.
