From Me:
If it weren't for the funky edge on the skirt, I'd almost say this was a man's swimsuit! I'm guessing it had a belt with it at some point in it's life. I think this is teens era but I'm not entirely sure. It's a very different piece from others I've seen.
This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.
