Description - Documented Tina Leser swimsuit romper from 1959. It's a white pique cotton with gorgeous pink and green floral embroidery on the bodice. It has a cool asymmetrical attached belt that wraps around the back and ties in the front. There is a metal zipper up the back. The straps have 2 button hole options.
*The zipper does go all of the way up but it was just too small for my mannequin*

Condition - There is some very faint color bleed from the pink. Overall for a 65 year old white swimsuit it looks pretty good but I feel like the white maybe doesn't look as bright in some spots anymore. I also found a couple of light spots. There is some damage on the inside of the bloomer underlayer and I've priced it much less because of this.
