Vintage 1940\'s Women\'s Swimsuit Catalina Hollywood Style
Price: US $162.49
Forest green and climbing vines- these were a popular color and motif for wallpaper and fabrics in the 1940\'s to early 1950\'s. Here we have them on a swimsuit, the design being hand-printed according to the label. The material is a knit, and there is stretch in it. Whatever the fabric content, the label indicates that it is reinforced with nylon. The crotch has a sturdy liner and is stain free. The straps, which are adjustable, hook into fabric loops in inside front. Stated size is 32. Made by Catalina, the label states \"Styled for the Stars of Hollywood\". It is in excellent condition- no stains or damage.

Extremely hard to measure, since there is no back to the bust circumference, plus, the curvature of the bust, the folds in front etc. Stated size 32 refers to the bust size; I have a 34\" bust & it fits me & I suspect it would even fit a 36 (more hangs out which some women & even men prefer).
Waist, approx 26\" & it stretches. I am about 29 and it accommodates me. Past 30\" - no. Hips - approx. 33, but will stretch to 36 or so. I\'m 36\" & it\'s fine.
In short, it would fit size 4 or 6.
The part that is non-green is eggshell or ecru in color and it is even, there is no discoloration or yellowing, nor are there any stains in or out.
I have just noticed that there is a small hole off to the side in the ecru portion; reason I hadn\'t noticed it is that the ecru part is actually 2 layers of stretch fabric & the the hole is in the top layer which the bottom layer hides. A few hidden stiches should remedy that. Thanks for asking so I could clarify that. Picture attached.
