70's Polka Dot Open Bow Back Swimsuit by Bill Blass beaded knit shell A Kings Lynn Polyester wideI can hardly tell you how much I adore this vintage Bill Blass swimsuit. Blass was a master of American sportswear and this swimsuit just slays me. The front is a black and white polka dot, with a deep V top that is piped with plastic boning to keep the ladies in and the chest exposed. High cut bikini style legs, with a full coverage bottom that scoops deep to expose the back. Bow detail wraps from under the arms to meet the straps at the shoulders
