Not to fan the fire but this one is pretty fabulous: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-VINTAGE-40S-50S-PIN-UP-SAILOR-GLAM-ROCKABILLY-JANTZEN-SWIMSUIT-SZ-14-/321390274191?pt=Vintage_Women_s_Clothing&hash=item4ad45a668f
I <3 vintage, with a special fondness for the 30's and 40's. I have been smitten with the vintage beach pajamas that were popular in the 1930's with the wide legged pants. I love this idea of framing a vintage suit. Maybe I'll peruse Etsy for one to frame....Fabulous! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/251075747950746706/
I love it! I've actually saved both kids' first swimsuit and plan to frame them. Have you seen the BHG shot of the suits on a green wallpapered hallway? LOVE! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/117375134011328452/
Yep, I'm with you! I was thinking of trying to paint my own or maybe just frame some reproductions? I dont think it looks as cool when the material isn't completely flat which is a hard one to master though.
As a "water girl" I love them, too. Thanks for sharing the links. We have a pool and I would love one for my stairwell.

That is so smart! I would have never thought about framing my daughters first swimsuit...maybe I should have picked one more in line with decor?
DeleteI feel like your shore place NEEDS some of this art!!!

DeleteAre you ever going to show us the playhouse??
ReplyDeleteI definitely will but I'll have to wait for a good weather weekend day to actually photograph it - but its definitely coming soon!
DeleteUm, this sounds like the perfect art for your shore condo! I love the curvy silhouettes of the old-timey suits.
ReplyDeleteYes, thats where my head is at lately. I'm considering trying to paint one but I'm not sure if I have the skills. Might be worth a shot though.
