  • Made of “Lastex”. I looked it up – it was an elastic yarn invented in the 20s, I think? It was a rubber core wrapped in wool, cotton or silk, and later rayon. If I had to guess, this is a cotton version. It’s very soft.

  • The fabric almost has a velour type quality to it.

  • No lining or cups

  • Knot detail at the bust

  • Swim dress style that you see in almost all the vintage swimwear

  • Doesn’t even look like it has ever been worn!

  • Still has good stretch

The first name in swimwear – Jantzen! I am OBSESSED with the diving girl logo.
