Cute bikini From Holiday Magazine, 1953:
From another Holiday Magazine (1957) - um, nice hat:
Bathing suits out of Seventeen Magazine from Bobbie Brooks, circa 1970 - with Colleen Corby again on the right ( I swear I am going to devote a full post to her one of these days!):
These next two pictures are from Sears Spring and Summer Catalog, 1972, and there's Colleen again on the left....
....and in the green bikini here (she worked a LOT!):
I like that bright floral bikini on the left, above. (Sorry I don't know the names of the other models!)
And here are some examples of crocheted suits from McCall's Needlework and Crafts Magazine, circa 1971. The one with the matching skirt is pretty cute:
And here's another example, also from a McCall's Needlework & Crafts magazine, 1972:
We'll be having our usual hot summer weather soon, I just know it.
Sigh....wish I had a pool.
I think I have a trash can just like that hat lol..
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a pool too. I want one with the edge that would look like it disappears into the view above the river. Great suits. Good prices back then too! Love T
ReplyDeletejohn can't swim in lakes & rivers etc due to extreme allergy/sensitivity to algae in fresh water. oceans (salt water) & pools are ok. so i have always wanted a pool. tina i love those pools that disappears into the horizon of another water source!!! my mom used to get that mccalls mag. - loved it and the fact that it was oversized. great post.
ReplyDeleteI think that hat in the second photo looks just like a bathroom wastebasket!
ReplyDeleteGreat post... gotta love those retro bikinis.
Fun post! Love those vintage bikinis- so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHey, I finally got over to Mountain Treasures today while visiting my parents in Sonora! I loved your booth-- I found two fun things I just couldn't live without (the pink/aqua floral tablecloth, and the Betty Crocker Outdoor Cookbook)! Your booth was so fun, and definitely my favorite!
Hugs,
Jill
So glad you all enjoyed the post, and
ReplyDeleteJill - thank you so much for letting me know that you visited our booth! I'm delighted to hear that you liked it - and that you even found some "treasures"!
Thank you.
Wish I had the body for one of these great suits! We've had terrible heat and humidity lately. A pool would be so nice. Twyla
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I love your blog, and I'm excited you found mine, miss gold country!
ReplyDeleteI still can't really believe that first picture is from 1953...that bikini seems to cover less that the ones pictured from 20 years later.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of those gals in the 4th photo to take Little Red Riding Hood with them on an outing! Snicker. Great post!
ReplyDeleteYour site is really good and the posts are just wonderful. Thank you and keep doing your great work.
