Life guard swim suit- 1950's?

Second guessing this, 50's or 60's the embroidered patches look 50's
I had to cut out the bullet bra, it was leaking powder everywhere. I didn't want to but I had to.

It has to be '60s because of the Union Label. If it didn't have the label, I would have guessed '50s from the suit. This label was used from 1963-1974. The lifeguard patches probably didn't change that much.

Too bad about the bra - but it still appears to be in excellent condition. Fun find!

Thank you!

Devil dust in the bullet bra - there's nothing else to do than to take that bit out.
