Not sure what this is -- sunsuit/playsuit/bathing suit?

[Tamzzyn]

Hi all!

I'm not really sure what this is and would love some help. I thought it was a bathing suit but the material doesn't seem to be very waterproof (or would work well in water).

Also, when could this be dated to?

Thanks

It's what I would call a playsuit - for going round the garden in, sunbathing, a bit of paddling in a blow up pool maybe, nothing serious :D
The print and ruched bust/halterneck combination have me thinking 60s/early 70s on this.

It is a swimsuit, agree with dating of 1960s/1970s. It could be worn as a playsuit, if one wished, but the design is that of a swimsuit. It looks like a knit, which is what many garments were made of in the 60s and 70s.

it's cute. I've done very well with similar in the past couple of years.
