This is a circa 1970-80, Maxine of Hollywood swimsuit. It features an outer layer over a body hugging under layer (see pic) and bra insert. It is marked size "40" . We are not sure, but think that is the bust, translating to a size 14/16.

Marked size 40
40-44" bust
36-40" waist
44-48" hip

Purveyor’s Note:

We have searched far and wide, wrestled bears, braved the cold, traversed mountain ranges, fought pirates, swam with sharks and eaten at many a questionable road side taco stand to provide our customers with one of a kind vintage pieces.

Know that whichever piece you choose to make your own has its own story and has traveled through time to get to you. Though we strive to provide the absolute best, “pristine” vintage pieces are rare birds, if not altogether non-existent.

That being said, please understand that part of buying and wearing vintage is accepting some of the imperfections that come along with pieces that are 20, 50 and sometimes 100 years old. We refuse to be anything other than honest and strive to present our items as they are; we are more than happy to take additional photos or answer any questions you may have. Just know that should you purchase a garment with a pinhole or a loose thread, we have done our best to describe things accurately, and that “flawed” and “vintage charm” are sometimes synonymous.
