Dior Swimsuit - 1965

It's Summer 1965. Christian Dior uses the latest fad of wild and crazy prints for this terrycloth bikini and silk chiffon coverup for his Boutique label.  I wish the colors were a bit brighter, but it's gorgeous all the same.  Do you suppose one of these bikinis is hiding in a drawer or an attic somewhere in the world just waiting for someone to find it and appreciate it?  I hope so.
