Gaad Dayam it's hot in Joburg these days. I've been dreaming of summer and the beach and just wish somebody could make vintage swimming cozzies already. I have a teeny weeny little bikini and realised I need to get a new one when I couldn't wear my cozzie at my 6 year old cousin's birthday party for fear that my uncle's friends might get hot under their trouser collars. Then when I saw these pics, I had to share and put my wishes out there: please somebody make vintage inspired bathing suits, I will buy them.
These pics are so Americana.

i also wanted a 50 style one piece. I had a red one specially made. it's similar to the norma kamali one in the first sex and the city movie: http://www.illtakeboth.com/2010/07/norma-kamali-runched-retro-swimsuit.html
good luck!
Thanks Diana, I'm going to CT next week so I'll be sure to visit her shop in Kalk Bay! :-)
OMG Skinny Bitch (lol) my obsession's always been there but it skyrocketed after SATC 1 with the black high waisted one Samantha wore! I want one exactly like that.
Oh wow! How stunning ;-)
Love these so classic!
