1950s Cole of California Black & White Vintage One Piece Swimsuit Size:8 pinks and oranges quilted withThis is a classic vintage one piece swimsuit by Cole of California. It is black, structured lycra with white contoured lines down the front. The white lines start at the neckline and accentuate the waist all the way down to the hem of the suit. The straps on this swimsuit are adustable by buttons at the tops of the straps. There is a metal zipper down the center back seam with a metal button for extra security. The cups of this suit are very sturdy
