According to the copy in this May 1955 ad, the 4 cotton swimsuits you see here were inspired by the Katharine Hepburn movie titled Summertime. These cotton print one-piece suits from Catalina sold for under $15.00. The ad appeared in the May 1955 Cosmopolitan .

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
