vintage postcards
Why do all the groovy bathing suits that I find only fit size 2 Amazonian super models! Ugh! I'm still on the search for a nice vintage postcard like maillot de bain! Wish me luck:) I just love this yummy banana color though!

When did people in France start wearing bathing suits again?
Marie, that postcard is SO nice!!!
The colour photo is wonderful too!
Thanks for the sweet comment! I got my blog layout from Shabby Blogs! : )
ooohh lala... i got to get one myself.. (the yummmy one of course..haha)
Fashiuon changes, Fortunately !
Gotta go and get one and make a big splash - sitting by the poolside! Nice solid colour for me, please.
I think you can cook my recipe with turkey.
I like this bathing suits of course not in black, but with some colors they would look fine, better than some women in a bikini !
When are they going to bring bathing suits like that back? That's about all I look good in these days.
Ha! Love comment # 1!
What a cute postcard!
O.K. I kind of like the yellow bathing suit. Of course I'm pretty sure that ruffle around the hips wouldn't look quite that nice on me. I'd look like I was in a tutu!
They must be dressed for swimming here right now: Ten degrees C and rain by the bucket...
Mixed feeling on the swim wear,lol. One side of me likes the old..Everyone the same. cover a multitude of imperfections. the other side like the new.. bright colors and cooler!
We love to go swimming! Call me old fashioned, but I kind of like the first ones in color. Have a great day :)
Love this blog! Thanks for visiting me! I will definitely be back for some more giggles.

I knew that was paparazzi following me! How did you get that photo of me in the yellow suit!!?? JK!!! ROFLOL! I would be one of the three above. :o)) Cute postcard.
Aaah - those old costumes covered a multitude of sins....do you think we can make vintage bathing suits fashionable again???

Good luck on your closet redo!
Marie, I saw one by Burberry, about a year ago. It looked like this gorgeous goldenrod colored one..So adorable!!!
xo, Penney
let us know when you find it?
Love your blog Marie, very informative and I love the postcards :)
I love the yellow maillot bathing suit...yellow is so not my color.
Your blog is fabulous and I'm amazed at how resourceful you are to find all those beautiful postcards.
Thanks for stopping by our blog!

Fabulous swimsuit postcard! If you find a seller of cool vintage-like swimsuits in sizes bigger than 2 let me know. I'm up for a swim!
I have a lovely picture of my husband's granny in a striped Jantzen style flapper bathing suit circa 1924. Stunning. I searched for one for weeks for my self. the closest one I found was at Amazon.com but they won't send clothing into Canada.
wow...You know...I think I prefer the first one! I love vintage!
Great post!
Thanks for sharing!
By the way...I love your hair!
Kind Regards from Brazil
God bless you

Marie,
Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my site. I really like your blog...I am now a follower!
We have an amazong photo of my grandpa in a maillot like that, posing with a bottle of beer! I'm going to try to find it when I next go to my parents' house...
Such cards also make me happy! Thanks for the visit!
I love that postcard!
J'aime beaucoup la couleur banane. Vous seriez belle dans ce maillot de bain.
That's a pretty suit ...
ohhh prizes .. giveaways .. yipppie!
Thanks for the postcard!
Actually that is exactly the style I need....cover me up!
Yes, Marie, I know you like my sundials series: there are not many sundials around, but I hope to increase my collection which for the time being has only 4 images!! :-)
Sometimes a girl just wishes those ugly black suits that covered you from shoulder to kneecaps were still the fashion. Good luck with your postcard hunt and have a terrific Tuesday!
Wonderful site, thank you for visiting my page! I shall come back and take my time to peruse your collection ~Jeni
Ha , the oldies look great!
Love the caps!
Was it a cute Chihuahua? :)
Hmmm. Today's version is way more attractive than yesterday's bathing suits. ;-) Nice to see the contrast!
Wow! What a great postcard. And I adore that yellow bathing suit.
i love the postcard! love that yellow malliot too....now,if someone could only give me her fabulous body,i'd wear it!! Heck..if i had that body,i might risk being arrested for public nudity!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an evolution ! Concerning bathing suits as well as bodies !
I don't do yellow, but for you I'll make an exception.
THIS IS MY FAV POSTCARD BY FAR
I LOVE THE SWIMWEAR THEY USED TO WEAR AND ACTUALLY LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A BATHING SUIT LIKE THE ONES ON THIS POSTCARD, I FOUND A FEW BUT THEY WERE N OTHING LIKE THE REAL THING.
I KEEP THE FLAPPER STYLE GOING WITH MYSELF, I LOVE MY FUN BOB AND HATS I LOVE TO WEAR.
I EVEN PLAN ON DOING A POST ON MY BLOG WITH THESE SWIMSUITS!
Let's go swimming now, everybody's learning how! Ack! I look Godawful in that color yellow. But you're a blonde so it should work for you. :)
I want that yellow swimsuit! Well, let me have that body to go with it! tee-hee!
I love the vintage bathing suits. if you visit Banff Hot Springs in the Rockies you can rent one...but they're not very comfortable!
Happy Tuesday my beautiful friend!
Oh my gosh, pass the ice cream! ha ha I would love to fit in that bathing suit... ha ha! Good luck in your search. By the way, did you find your wedding dress yet?
I always wondered how the girls swam with those old fashioned bathing suits. I'll take the newer swimsuits and the girls that go with them. You're right, Yummy! :)
this is a nice bathing suit but i think it does not fit to myself too...c",)
PS:
Thanks for dropping by in my site few weeks ago, this is the only time I was able to visit your blog. I do appreciate your time.
The postcard is unreal! Quite a different perspective of glamour! And I too love that rich buttery yellow of the coloured swimsuit!
Fantastic postcards. I really like them both. But my favorite bathingsuit is the yellow.
Thanks for visiting me.
Have a great day
