Resort Fashion - 1950s Strapless Suit and "Sandwig"

I love the mauve colors in this picture - so peaceful. :)

That is a terry cloth "Sandwig" on her head, worn to cover wet hair after swimming. Rather jaunty looking  - what do you think? And the fabulous strapless suit is embroidered piqué.

Resort Fashion - A 1950s Duster is a Must!

Looking exotic and in such a dramatic pose, this model is wearing a black terry cloth duster (complete with rhinestone buttons!). The duster is versatile - slip it on over a bathing suit, or wear it as a coat or as a casual dress. Columns not required. ;)

Resort Fashion - Don't Forget Your Clam Diggers!

These 1951 tapered pants are a high fashion way  to make a stand on the beach! Called clam diggers or cabin boy pants, they are also simply called - short slacks. ;)

Resort Wear Month - At the Beach

It's 1951 and oh yes, I love to lounge on the beach in my alluring strapless suit, my make-up perfect - but I just pretend to smoke. ;) I do look cool, don't I? Definitely gorgeous.

More Resort Fashions - Hit the Beach!

It's time to dream of hitting the beach, dressed in wonderful vintage fashion. And it is my goal to post beach wear, swimsuits, and other resort fashion in my shop daily for the month of January. Let's look at some of the  wonderful 1950s summer wear available for the kids and adults!

 Love the high waist shorts and the cropped top!

Wonderful ensemble with bra top, shorts, and cover-up - don't you think that beach cover-up with hood is cute?

Another bra top with shorts and cover-up - and pedal pushers too!

 Super cute beach wear with a kiddie version of the bra top with mock-shrug cap sleeves.

Resort Fashion Month!

It's January! Yippee, that means it is time for resort fashion - vintage, of course! What could be more fun during the heart of winter than to peruse summer styles for the beach and resort?

Do you need sexy swimwear from the 1980s?

Maillot or bikini ... or both with McCall's 8089!

Or perhaps you'd prefer this very cute beach ensemble from 1954?

 

Love the sunny bra top with shorts and a great cover-up with or without hood!
