What a Nice Day For a Swim!

 Hello everyone!

It feels great to be posting again! We've been busy but we still haven't stopped sewing, thrifting or researching. We've found and made some really neat things and cant wait to share it all! Today I wanted to share these lovely swim suits. I give the photo credits to My Vintage Vouge, it is such a great website for vintage images from the 1920's-1960's. They've given me a lot of sewing ideas and inspiration while pairing new outfits. So if you haven't seen this site already I would definitly check it out! Most of these suits are form the 1940's and 1950's- Enjoy!

Stars and Swimsuits!

Hey everyone, I hope you all are having a good week, and those who live in hot places are staying cool! It's been very hot in our area lately which makes me think of the beach and swimming pools, and what do you need to go to the beach or swim in a pool- a swim suit! I'm sure a lot of you would agree that vintage swim suits don't really compare to the suits we see today. I would definitely rather wear a retro inspired suit than the modern styles that are sold in stores. There is some sort of class that accompanies the gal that wears a retro suit. They also seem more flattering and forgiving than swimwear of today.

Enjoy these lovely photos of these lovely stars in their lovely suits!
