Rose Marie Reid Yellow Abstract Sun Suit Play Suit Beach Romper – XS, 1950s
About the Item
As appropriate vamping on the beach as it is strolling the sidewalks of the Riviera, this play suit absolutely requires a great pair of stems, espadrilles and an enormous sun hat and sunglasses. We see Sophia Loren romping with Marcello Mastroianni or Brigitte Bardot on the beaches of Cannes.
One-piece playsuit with peaked, soft pointed bra cups and ruched elastic side panels at bodice; self belt loops. Adjustable buttoning straps and rear metal zipper closure with two interior hooks and eyes; full front and rear princess seams. Interior cotton bloomer panty with elasticized leg openings; remainder of suit unlined.
