Here’s slender size 2 Stella in a vintage size 12 suit (and there’s only a little extra room!) What a pretty style in floral print, with a halter-tie, criss-cross neckline and figure-flattering (for some) skirt.
Of course, it has built-in bra cups and an elasticized back, waist and leg openings. Naturally, a back metal zipper, too.
True vintage labels are often so quaint – this one reads: ” Catalina – part of the art of Eve. ” THAT’S a rather heavy thought to consider . . . . . .

It’s hard to imagine, but
mid-century and before women wore sweaters of one kind or another all year. These McCall’s needlework magazine pictures from the 1950’s and early 1960’s prove it! Not only dresses, cardigans and little boleros, but I’ve seen patterns for shorts and even bathing suits.
If you keep a woman confined with time on her hands, it’s amazing what she will come up with . . . . . . . .
