40's Swimwear and Tops ... Retro Couture at it's Best!



Babbette is a composite of two different illustrations from 1948. This two-piece bathing suit is sewn in sky blue, creme and black plaid, poly-rayon broadcloth. Bikini gathers at side bust and pleats at center front set into mitered band at lower bust. High waisted shorts feature inset yoke mirroring the peak of the bikini for a slimming silhouette. Shorts zip up center back. Bikini buttons at center back and back neck for easy adjustment.

Perhaps your a jeans girl and just want a little sun! Tie one on in this adorable 1940's inspired tie top.

Looks great with jeans, capris, shorts and even a skirt.


Both available in our shop!

Bernie Dexter in 2010 Swimwear




Warm weather is just around the corner .... really, it is! Just in time we have new suits from Fables by Barrie ... that are cute cute cute! Check out the Sailor Bernie Super bright and shimmery low-rise red bottom with a white trimmed navy blue skirt overlay, accented with a white anchor button with a red anchor. Made of 4-way stretch nylon/spandex and full lined, couled with a shimmery red halter top accented with contrast white band and blue ruffled under bust. Made of 4-way stretch nylon/spandex and fully lined with removable padding and hook closure in back. And modeled of course by Bernie Dexter herself!



And, I love this adorable high waisted swimsuit by Sugar Dolls ...A nod to the all American Pin-up Queens of yester year! This bikini has a high waisted bottom with shirred anchor print lycra in the front, made to look like a skirt but attached to shorts. The top has shirred red and white stripes, lined with stiff interfacing and boning to hold in the girls and has a vintage 50's feel. Thick stretch denim ties for added support. Great for those who are well endowed!
