Adorable 2pc romper/playsuit in that classic 1940’s/1950’s style.
I went with a Hawaiian theme, black hibiscus printed shirting.
TIP…use a lighweight fuseable interfacing between the front and back of the top to give some structure !
High waisted shorts with side zipper and button.

That is a beautiful set. I wish I were skinny enough to wear something like that!
Love the fabric! Love the styling! Well done!
I would love it if you would offer a discussion of how to make a top like the one shown. This suit reminds me so much of my childhood, both wearing (as a child) and seeing the teens in the beach movies.
Classic designs never go out of style. Beautiful!
Love, love, love!
