I am not usually all that into the "rockabilly retro" styles, i.e. cherry swing dresses and lucky 13 clothing type stuff.
I am much more inclined to buy real vintage or vintage reproduction, but my heart fluttered a bit when I saw this little number over at BabyGirlBoutique (which happens to be from my town!)The Leopard Pin-up Girl Swimsuit!
You can not tell me that this suit is not HOT!
You can buy it HERE for $98.00
But as it turns out til Midnight on April 13th they are having a spring sale!
25% off anything!
the Promo-Code is "Spring-09"
Using that code makes this Suit only $73.50
Which is less than what I paid for my Esther Williams suit 2 years ago!
Use the code to get all kinds of goodies in the shop too like, they have a few vintage inspired brands, and a small selection of underpinnings that are quite vintage-esque.
They have stockings too, I think they are just the leg avenue stockings, but they are pretty inexpensive.
Go, shop, and look fantastic doing it!

What exactly is 'retro and rockabilly' and how is it different than vintage? I'm curious!
I mean like Rockabilly fashions and brands. they are different..
rockabilly is a more punk rock, leopard print, bright colors and cherries type thing.
I prefer to wear real vintage clothing, like every day wear.
if you look around that website, you will see lots of rockabilly styles, which is not really what I am into.
I like real simple lovely vintage.
random question... do you use a crinoline skirt (if you wear swing dresses or circle skirts)? if so, where did you get yours/what brand?
you can wear a crinoline ot complete the look!
those dresses look best with one.
I see them on ETSY all the time.
I like the vintage ones best. the new ones are made of tulle and are scratchy.
See, I love rockabilly stuff, leopard print and all that jazz. It's a cool, affordable way to dress IF you don't buy all the brand stuff.
I do love vintage but A: it's very expensive and B: Trying to find plus size vintage is hellish
Oh yeah, Esther Williams has a fab range of retro look swimsuits. pricey but divine
