1950s Ruffled Plaid Catalina Swimsuit designer-chanel " That is the descriptionSuper sexy printed plaid 1950s swimsuit that can double as a playsuit for a really brave girl. It's made from that high grade cotton that one only finds from this time period. It is cut in that classic pin up bombshell style of the day all curves and sexiness missed with girl next door innocence. The top is halter style, with two straps and a built in foundation. A pretty tiered row of ruffles goes down the front highlighted with pretty white buttons.
