This replicated sewing pattern is sized to fit a 32 inch bust / 27 inch waist / 35 inch hip.
From 1933 - Swim Suit for Women and Misses - Two Piece in either of Two Styles. With attached undershorts and Bandana". The seaworthy bathing suit is of plaid gingham, a giddy new fabric for bathing suits. One wraps a bandana around one's head and wears thin white jersey shorts under the pleated gingham one. The other version has a halter style top which leaves the wearer more uncovered in the sun.
Style A/B has plain front short with attached under-short and buttons along both side/fronts. Top is halter style with ties around neck and back. Style C/D has pleated front short with attached under-short and buttons along both side/front as in A/B - this version has pattern for belt (model is shown with belt fixed in back). Sleeveless top ties in center back and has decorative ties at the shoulder. Pattern for bandana is also included. Yellow halter version shows a decorative yoke/necklace - this is from my private collection and is NOT included with the bathing ensemble instructions.
SUGGESTED MATERIALS: Gingham, Cotton, Pique, Silk or Wool, Jersey for Undershorts, Novelty Cottons and Plaids, Rayon.

**PLEASE KEEP IN MIND**
This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern. While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit. As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.
