50s-60s Large Cole of California Swimsuit with Overskirt Navy Adjustable Straps Bathing Suit Swim Wear by Cole Of California

Almost museum worthy! I bought this because even though I could never wear it ( wrong size) the condition and COLE label was a big plus...and the size makes it very much in demand. Finding vintage swimwear is pretty much impossible, these days. So I was not going home without her! FABULOUS condition. I love the slimming white chain stitch that runs vertically up and down the front. Please only go by measurements, as sizes have changed over the years. I will take returns on swimwear, if it does not fit, but you will have to pay for return postage. fabric feels VERY sturdy! measurements:
Bust: 40"
waist: 36"
Hips: 40"
length: 23" FROM BOTTOM OF CROTCH TO CENTER FRONT

Cole of California started as a swimwear division from the West Coast Manchester Knitting Mills. The Mills made men's long underwear, owned by the Cole family. In 1925, Fred Cole didn't want to make underwear. He was a actor and wanted to make swimsuits with a Hollywood edge. This company is still in business today
