What's a girl to do if she wants to emulate the glamour of the past on the beaches and poolsides of today? Vintage swimsuits in good condition are incredibly rare, and often they aren't at all practical for actually swimming in!

Luckily, here at What Katie Did, we also want to look our retro best at the beach, and so our new Classic Swimsuit has all the allure of mid-century swimwear, but it can actually be immersed in both chlorine and salt water without adverse effects. Which is good news, because saggy bottoms are not a good look, ladies!

Constructed from matte, black swimsuit fabric, it features shaped cups and a supportive halterneck, plus a skirted bottom that simultaneously disguises ample behinds and gives the illusion of curves in petite ones. Flattering and fully lined, the Classic Swimsuit is trimmed with slimming pink piping. See you by the pool!

* 80% polyamide 20% elastane
* halterneck to tie at back in bow
* lined, shaped, cups
* fully lined at front
* faux skirt at front
