Vintage 1950s Kittiwake Navy Swimsuit

Filled with nostalgia, this is such a lovely 1950s swimsuit by Kittiwake of England, made in rich navy blue with ivory panels that beautifully emphasise its flattering, hourglass shape. It has a boned bust, halterneck straps and a little skirt over the fitted shorts, fastening at the back with its original metal zips. A real beauty of a swimsuit that bring thoughts and memories of a much simpler time in history!
