This is for PRINTED PATTERN- Mailed to you. E-Pattern download is available in a separate listing in my store.A Resto-Vival pattern based on on original early 1940s swimsuit to make yourself. The original description read:"Misses' and Women's Play and Bathing Suit- This figure-flattering costume for sun exposures is made with a fitted bodice which is joined to the brief skirt and shorts at the waistline under a belt. The pointed godets of the skirt may be outlined in rick-rack to match the trim of belt and shoulder straps. In Style II, contrasting material is used for shoulder straps, belt, and pointed godets".This is all in one piece with shorts attached underneath. This is not like our modern idea of bathing suits- vintage made at home swimsuit of the time were often made in cotton and zipped up the side. You may find this is better to wear by the seashore and in the sand, rather than in the surf and pool.--- SIZING ---Measurements given in inches.BUST 30- 32- 34- 36- 38- 40WAI
