About MeThis green bathing costume has a sweetheart neckline and a modesty panel on the front.

The halterneck strap is adjustable and attaches on to the bathing costume with a clear plastic button on the interior of each side of the bodice.

The bodice is boned like a corset and there is a zip along the back seam to give the hourglass figure fashionable in the 1940s and 1950s.
