i own the Norma Kamali "Bill" bathing suit, and i have to say its hugely flattering. its very good for those that are self conscious about their stomachs...its worth every penny.

for even more inspiration i would suggest renting some busby berkley musicals from the 30's.

My new (to me) vintage bikini! I want to restart this thread, Summer is here in NZ and swimwear is on my brain.

I wish I owned one!!! It's a beautiful style and I don't doubt that it does all the favors in the world.

I don't think I'd wear one of these suits myself, but I do think some of them are really lovely.
