1950s Deweese bombshell pin up swim suit stripes

MINT condition Size 10/32 Maryann Deweese worked with top studio designers on suits for the stars and, for many years, designed the swimsuits worn in the Miss America pageant. She was credited with innovations in texture use, including jacquard knits and appliquéd stretch cottons. Having reached peaked success with "Catalina" she decided to launch her own company in 1951, called “Deweese Designs,” turning out high-fashion swimsuits and sundresses.
