About the Item

As appropriate vamping on the beach as it is strolling the sidewalks of the Riviera, this play suit absolutely requires a great pair of stems, espadrilles and an enormous sun hat and sunglasses. We see Sophia Loren romping with Marcello Mastroianni or Brigitte Bardot on the beaches of Cannes. One-piece playsuit with peaked, soft pointed bra cups and ruched elastic side panels at bodice; self belt loops. Adjustable buttoning straps and rear metal zipper closure with two interior hooks and eyes; full front and rear princess seams. Interior cotton bloomer panty with elasticized leg openings; remainder of suit unlined. fabric: NON-STRETCH cotton broadcloth noteworthy: may be hand washed in cool water alterations: replaced elastic in interior bloomer leg openings condition: excellent but missing original belt measurements (taken dry *): neckline opening: 12 ½” between straps bust: 30” (ruching unstretched) to 34” (ruching stretched) straps: adjustable from 15” – 17” waist: 23” hips: 38” leg circumference (interior bloomer): 17 ½” unstretched to 27” stretched length: 27” from shoulder (at shortest adjustment); 21” from underarm * please note this is not a lycra suit; therefore measurements will not stretch significantly when garment is wet even though elastic side panels offer comfort at torso. label: Rose Marie Reid size: vintage size 12; comparable to modern size extra small
