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!

Both available at Get Go Retro.com

Vintage Swimwear Wall Decor

Found on the Katy Elliott designer blog. Is this not the coolest idea????? How about vintage bathing suit framed for your walls? Here are a few found on 1st Dibs. These are a bit pricey for some pocketbooks, which leads me to think that you could search vintage shops (or ebay) and find a great suit to frame yourself. AND, if you live near a Michael's or Joanne Fabric store, they often run the professional framing at 50% off. Get a shadowbox and you've got a great addition to your walls.

Above - at 1st Dibs. American1900-1920'sGreat new collection of vintage wool bathing suits, each impeccably mounted to last and framed in a custom lacquered shadow box. Prices vary from $2300 to $2695. Many more available from a 30 year veteran collector. They can be purchased here

If 1st Dibs is too pricey and you still want to buy online ... there is Petrie Point Design:

Petrie Point Designs are authentic, vintage bathing suits from the 1920s to the 1960s that are beautifully framed and made into timeless works of art. Perfect for your home, beach house, hotel, restaurant, or as a gift. (Select photography by James Montague: www.jamesmontaguestudio.com.)
