a l'allure garconniere

yeoldefashion:

An incredibly glitzy, fully sequined bathing suit made by Bonwit Teller in 1940.

I would guess that this was probably made more for a beauty pageant rather than actually swimwear, but the sequins are plastic instead of metal so it would have been technically pool-worthy if the wearer so desired.

 I NEED THIS ON MY BODY

OKAY THAT’S ENOUGH but i really miss these two wonderful people (morgan is my bff and lives all the way on the other side of the country and annemarie was my neighbour but is currently in guatamaaaaaaala and i’m still here stuck with the goddamn snow)

SUMMER YOU CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH. i can’t wait to freak out strangers with my hairy pits again.

i’m pretty sure i’ve already reblogged this… but it combines too many of my favourite things not to post it again.
