CHOOSE YOUR SIZE 


Make a splash in our vintage styled swimsuit. As more people flocked to beaches, the bathing garments became more fitted and shorter much to the dismay of the conservative bystanders. This well tailored sailor suit was the height of beach fashion in the 1890’s and early 1900’s and would even pass the Beach Patrol’s whose job was to ensure that ladies’ skirts were not too short.

For modesty and authenticity, pair with our pantaloons and mobcap. Our version features the most popular naval middy collar with a v-neck front and large square flap across the back, which has contrasting trim. Authentic details include an attached contrasting bow tie, cap sleeves, and contrasting trim at the sleeves and ruffled skirt bottom. Skirt measures approximately 26 inches in length from set in waist. A discreet zipper fastens up the side.

Imported. Made of 100% Cotton for comfort. Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle and hang to dry or dry clean. Available in several colors.

If you're going to stand out, do it boldly!
We raise our family of 7 kiddos to be modestly-attired and they enjoy doing so. This has made swimming a bit strange since they've previously had to wear shorts and a shirt, but with the Ladies 1900 Bathing Suit from Historical Emporium, they can be properly modest in what is technically a genuine bathing suit. The culture has gone so far downhill that, ironically, this bathing suit could almost be worn to church and still be more modest than the things some people wear. That said, it's crazy to think that the 99% naked people at the local pool or at the beach would point at the "weirdos" wearing this fantastic Historical Emporium bathing suit. Although we normally use a private family pool, we would gladly take this on a trip and use it at the seashore. We would stand out no matter what, so we're happy to do it boldly with the outfits H.E. has to offer!!!

Nice but...
This garment will work for the costume I had been looking for. However, the pantaloons (as shown in the pictures) do not come with it. Another $50 and my one-day costume could be complete. In my opinion, had I known this, I would have looked elsewhere.

Great look. You probably need to order two sizes up from what you normally wear.

Rather small
I ordered a large & the fit is snug. The materials are beautiful; the workmanship is high quality; the colors & style are perfect! But, after worn & washed, I worry that the cotton fabric will shrink.

I am going on a cruise with "sunworshippers" and this bathing suit will protect me. It will also be a comic release.

Quality
Thick cotton material. Look is genuine and makes me feel like the 1900s. I bought matching bloomers. I am 5"7', athletic, 149 lbs. I usually wear between a size 6-8. The dress in a large fits comfortably. Biceps are snug. My waist is 28 and there is plenty of room. Not skin tight. I bought the bloomers in a size small and those fit prefect.

Early 1900's swim suits
I purchased three of these for an event that will take place next February, and I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to wear mine. I may use it at Halloween so I won't have to wait several months to enjoy it. I'm greatly impressed with the quality of the bathing suit. The fabric is of a nice quality, and the construction is of good quality. I'm most impressed. I feel the suits were a "bargain" at the price we paid for them. We are constructing our own mob caps as we want a patterned fabric rather than plain white, but most likely the quality of the mob cap would follow suit. Now that I've seen the quality of product, I know I will be buying other items from your site. Love it!
