Vintage 1950s Beach Pajamas & Bathing-suit Patterns

1950s beachwear combined glamour, femininity and leisure, influenced by the French Riviera and Hollywood stars. Dior’s floral swimsuits featured halter necklines, cinched waists and structured silhouettes, while accessories completed the elegant look. Although bikinis emerged, one-piece suits remained popular.
