Help dating this women\'s swimsuit...
Hello again, everyone.
I'm a little stumped by this swimsuit. The label reads Channel West, and when I looked up the company on the USPTO site I found the company registered in 1974. However, when I researched the RN #, I found the original company was called Sea Fashions of California, then SEA FASHIONS, INC. with the first use in 1946.
Now, when I look at this suit with cotton bra insert and shall we say, rather upward pointing bust, (sort of a bullet shape, as well) it makes me think 1950s. But could this have been later 60s or even early 70s? I don't recall styling like this in the latter era, but I was a young teen then and could very well be wrong.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, guys. I appreciate any and all feedback.
