This makes me smile. I'm so glad you got the suit and that it's everything you had hoped. I see $$$$$$$!

I rarely go out in public in a swimsuit, but I'd be proud to wear one like that!

Thank you everyone, I really adore this suit. I love these 'hand prints' ones and wish I could find out more about them. I know there are table cloth 'California hand prints' but did clothing manufactures make anything? IThey seem to be from the 40's. I wish Catalina had a historian like Jantzen does.

- just amazing!!!!! Gee, I wish I could have something like that - man, that would be a sight at the local public pool here (and almost in style - the whole thing was built in 1939 and the buildings are quite stylish).
