Let's bring back: Swimsuits with skirts

—by My Mom, The Style Icon / Tuesday, March 16, 2010

One-pieces with skirts weren't always designed for retirement home pools. During the 50's, Deborah Hart's mom lived on the Fiji Islands and stopped row-boat traffic in this red frilly suit. Wholesomewear, it ain't.
I spent some time trying to find a new knock-off suit online to no avail. Skirted suits are generally splattered with hot pink Hawaiian flowers and have a "sleek" skirt design. There are some vintage suits like this one from baby girl vintage...

...but am I crazy to think that buying used bathing suits from a total stranger's grandma is going one step too far? Please, weigh in.
