This is a beautiful ad from Vogue, 1955. It's currently for sale on RubyLane for $15. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bathing suit. I'm a sucker for sage green and I love the bloomers... though I'm not sure how well they would work in real life. I'd probably look like I was wearing a diaper, but I might just test that theory and let y'all know.

Happy Friday Everyone!

This is a lovely picture of Queen Alexandra in 1884. She's wearing an absolutely stunning seaside dress and looks somewhat forlorn. I can't imagine how she could be in such a wonderful outfit. I especially love the subtle detail of the cuffs.

As you can see, the picture has a "LIFE" watermark on it... I found this beauty on Old Rags (A tumblr page)
