Talk about a bombshell vintage piece! This is a rare 1940's Cole of California red and white striped 2 piece swimsuit. The top features a versatile design - it can be converted into a halter top or it can be worn a spaghetti strap. Two buttons on either side (with two button holes) allow you to change the way the straps can be worn. Almost identical to a swimsuit seen on in an original 1940s Cole of California ad (see pics), this is a one of a kind set that is not only collectible but fun to wear!
The bottoms have a wonderful smocking detail which gives the bottoms a lot of stretch, making it great for curvier girls.
