I love these vintage swimsuits, they are sexy and made the body look very curvy. This swimsuit spread is from Vogue magazine January 1955, two of the swimsuits ads are for Tylon zipper and Cole's of California.

| This is the newest-looking swim suit you are likely to see all year. It is a Sacony's superbly cut lastex suit for women who take their swimming and their figures seriously. As you see, its dramatics derive chiefly from the swag-draped strap that zoom over one shoulder. The print suit comes in black or navy with white 19.95. The solid color version red with blue sky, navy with lilac, white with navy 17.95. Both suits comes in sizes 10-18. |

Two lovely suits from Cole's of California, not sure why they are holding the guys under water.
The second Coles swimsuit is the same as one of the ones above advertising the Talon zipper.
I like this pink one because it has little white fringe along the bottom and top.
Do you have a favorite and would you wear one today?
