Swimsuits with Ava Gardner
Looking for a vintage bathing suit this summer? I'm sure Ava Gardner could give you some ideas. I love every swimsuit I've ever seen her in! Here are just a few. Which is your favorite?
The one in leopard print is especially amazing, simply b/c that was done around '52-'55-not too bad for a 30+ year old woman!-Jessica Meadows, Executive Director, Ava Gardner Museum, www.avagardner.org
wow love the comment before mine what a honor! i love all 50's swimsuits! to find one in good wearable quality is always a treat! love all your new goodies!
I love those classy swimsuits. I can't even count the number of times I've lost in ebay auctions trying to find the perfect modest cut suit. Thanks for posting! :)

ReplyDeleteI think the first is my favorite. She definitely rocks them all. Oh, the good old golden days...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I prefer her style to Marilyn's (reading a Marilyn biography now). Much more self-confident and stylish.
ReplyDeleteFantastic swimsuits on a beautiful woman! I'm partial to the polka dots and leopard...
ReplyDeleteOh, and the black swimsuit with the red buttons in your previous post is adorable!
I adore these vintage bathing suits. Toast.co.uk makes a really nice vintage inspired one, but I need to loose a little weight first *wink*
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous photos. ..I adore vintage
ReplyDeletePositively gorgeous! I love all three, but I think the polka dot one edges out a little for me :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a gorgeous week, sweetie!
