A glamorous vintage 1970s swimsuit by Cole of California in a luscious deep red swimsuit adorned with gold chains. (The color is prettier than the photos)  

The suit has slimming princess seams styling on both the front and the back.  Beautiful lace-look bra form inside the suit which has retained its whiteness and shape. It will give you a marvelous shape as it is not a soft bra but one that will give you curves.  Attached to the bra form is wonderful stretchy elastic as one one find in a light girdle which will not only smooth your figure but pull in your stomach as well.  Attached to that is a pair of panties with a liner in the crotch. 

The shoulder straps have 2 button holes for adjustment.  There is stretch to the red suit some fabric similar to lycra or spandex.  The criss-cross chains on the front of the suit going through grommets is what just makes this suit so sexy and elegant.  There is also slits under the chains as the chains going through the grommets is what is holding that portion of the suit together.  Vintage pinked edge on crotch liner. 

The Cole of California tag is identical to one on the Vintage Fashion Guild website for 1970 and my thanks to them.

Perfect for Viva Las Vegas, a tropical vacation, a cruise or around your pool.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.

International customer have 14 days to contact Midnight Glamour about returning an item if they should want to.  International customers may have to pay be additional customs and import taxes and there maybe unforeseen customs delays. The seller is not responsible for these delays nor for the custom charges as that is the international customer's obligation when purchasing an item outside your country.

Since we are a small business we do not credit your return back to a credit card. We only allow an exchange for another item or a store credit which is good for one month after which time, it is canceled if not used.  We do not accept returns or cancellations.  Shipping fees are not refundable.
