1950s Catalina Lace Print Swimsuit, Size XS-S, Pin Up, Burlesque
Description - 50s lace print pin up model swimsuit with lace trim. It is Catalina's patented puckered fabric with elastic shirring over most of the suit. The only structure in the bust is boning on the sides. The bra area is lined with cotton but it does not have any padding or shaping. It is a step in style with no openings but it's very stretchy. The straps are removable so it can be worn as a strapless suit if you'd like. There are 2 button hole options on each end of the straps to adjust them to fit you best.
