This 40's inspired Bikini was a custom request, she loved the top from the old photo and wanted two different bottom options, a low rise bikini bottom and a hi-waist retro style. Below are the pictures that we started with. The low rise bottoms feature ruching at the hip, the hi-waist bottoms have ruffles in the front seams and the stripes change directions from front, side and back.

Below the finished product in red and white striped spandex, full lining in white. Support bra with cups, side boning and adjustable crisscross straps in back.
I just had to share these, my lovely customer Miss Betty Jean sent me pictures of her wearing The Marilyn Monroe Hallway Dress that she ordered last year from my Etsy shop for the Miss Pinup Australia contest, and she won!
