Classic Blue Velour made into a chic ruffled bathing suit by Cole of California. This rare suit was made sometime between the late 1940's and early 1950's, and was most likely purchased around 1950-1952. It is soft luscious blue velour with an elastic back to keep it snug. It is ruffled up the front, and the bust is wonderfully shaped. The strap is a button strap.

It is a size small, according to the distinctive late 40's to early 50's tag as seen in the 5th picture. By today's standards I would say it is a petite small. The bust is not padded, but lined with a black strip of fabric, as seen in the last picture. It is in very good condition, soft and the back elastic still stretches with no apparent drying.

Measurements are as follows:
18 inches from middle of bust to bottom of front
12.5 inches across the bottom front
11 inches straight across the top
(I am not sure bust size)
17 inch strap.

Thank you for visiting Vintage Raige.

Came from a box of my late mother's college things. I never knew she was so fashionable. A very nice glimpse of the times back then.
