I really love the ones with an extra piece of fabric covering the bottom. My swimsuits get ruined too quickly to spend money on a designer one so I've been looking for an inexpensive one, only thing I've been able to find is vintage on ebay. vintage swimsuits gross me out

Vintage swimwear CAN be very delicate, you might want to pay extra attention to that when you are shopping for one.
I think it's best to go for a repro or a vintage inspired modern design. There are usually some styles at rockabilly/pinup/burlesque stores and I have seen cute design by some lingerie brands, too. |

I love the styling of the vintage swimwear. I will say though that I will never wear one because it's not revealing enough (I require the "two triangles and an hourglass" as anything more will inhibit tanning ability).

Love this new trend! However, I'm afraid of getting weird tan lines from some of the higher-waisted cuts... :P

The tan lines wouldn't be an issue for me, but then again I avoid tanning so this is perfect for me anyway.

Seeing this type of swimsuit come back into style is funny, since one-piece swimsuits are the only swimsuits I'll wear - never tried on a two-piece in my life! I have had trouble finding some of the more vintage inspired styles, with the extra bit of fabric at the bottom, so hopefully this will increase my chances of spotting one in stores ("hopefully" being the key word).

Never mind my last post - I just purchased this nylon/spandex bandeau swimsuit from Newport News for $29! The straps are detachable and aren't shown in the picture, but I think I'll use them when I wear the swimsuit.

I've been looking for a bathingsuit like this for a couple years now and I'm so glad someone posted the Norma Kamalis because thats exactly what I want. Im so tempted now to get it but the price tag is so hefty for someone who rarely ever goes to the beach/pool!
There was also a fantastic cherry-print two-piece on a vintage clothing site a couple years back that I was madly in love with but it was sold out. They just kept the picture up to tease everyone. ugh. |
