1950s Ruffled Plaid Catalina Swimsuit designer-chanel A beautiful fine gold lace

A beautiful fine gold lace serves as the outer layer of this lace and silk chiffon dress from Bill Blass

The deep navy and off white print cleverly hide any potential flaws

Cut caftan mixed with kimono style it is a true dress in that is does not open all the way up

I see some very minor repairs to what would have been some breaks on the front shoulders and perhaps there is a small break here and there

Lined in silk chiffon and closes with snaps down the side

1950s Ruffled Plaid Catalina Swimsuit designer-chanel A beautiful fine gold laceSuper sexy printed plaid 1950s swimsuit that can double as a playsuit for a really brave girl. It's made from that high grade cotton that one only finds from this time period. It is cut in that classic pin up bombshell style of the day all curves and sexiness missed with girl next door innocence. The top is halter style, with two straps and a built in foundation. A pretty tiered row of ruffles goes down the front highlighted with pretty white buttons.
