The Bombshell Swimsuit is modeled on a classic 1950's silhouette, a style that harkens back to the golden era of glamourous swimwear.
The pattern includes 3 variations: a gathered bust maillot, a halter neck, and a high waist bottom which you can mix and match with your favourite bikini top. With ruched seams, a booty encasing seat and a skirt-like front, the Bombshell is fully lined and provides an appealing amount of coverage.
