The year: 1960. Swimsuits are still structured with sculpted bra shaping and two-piece suits feature bottoms that go no lower than the waist. Somehow, I find these sexier than the barely-there styles of today.
Catalina suit in black and white cotton ticking stripe. Sold for $11.00 (about $81.00 in today's dollar).
Cole of California offered this two-piece suit with matching jacket in a blue and green cotton print. The three pieces together sold for $23.00 (about $170.00 in today's dollar).

That first suit is fantastic - and LOVE the model's sassy pose.
I'm still partial to the Esther Williams style swimsuits. Plus they have a tummy slimmer in them.
Oh I like your blog very much indeed.

I adore 1960s swimsuits, theyre just so playful! and I'm glad this summer a lot of design companies have put in more of that retro feel
I love your blog, love the vintage posts!
