This incredibly rare piece is one of my most amazing finds. Its made of novelty print rayon jersey, with black and white hieroglyphics all over it. A very EARLY 1940s bikini, with criss cross back straps, and button closure. The bottoms have built in high waist shorts, with a wrap around skirt covering. A beautiful pin-up piece, perfect for a collector or photoshoot.

Condition: This piece has lots of life left, but is being sold as-is. For being 70 years old, I am pretty impressed with with the condition of the rayon. The top and bottoms have some slight very faint yellowing but is disguised well withthe busy pattern. The straps on top have threads pulling louse, but doesnt effect wear. It is also lightly stretched out, but has lots of spring left in it.
The bottoms have holes here and there as well as 8 runs starting off the waist band near closure. There is a spot that has been darned/repaired at center front crotch area. The stitches around leg openings are also pulling, but could easily be fixed, and doesnt effect wear at all.
I have more pictures upon request to ensure you are getting exactly what you want.

Bust 34" (possibly a very tight 36") Would best fit a B-C cup.

Waist 26-27"
Hips 36-38"
Length 12"
