would you ever ever, even in you fashion craziest moment consister wearing...

[chevre]

a towelling bikini?

[LaurieFairyCake]

I'm not really 'up' on bikini styles but I can't see anything wrong with wearing a towelling on

I'm more of an all-in-one suit for fatty's though so I know nothing

[southeastastra]

my sister had a brown one in the 70s

[Sagacious]

I like it

[Sagacious]

Mind you I had a hand crochet bikini when I was 6

[born in the 70's emoticon]

[chevre]

i have a pattern for crocheting a bikini if you feel the need for one now sag.

i just think towelling is a bit weirdy for a bikini. i just imagine it would look fluffy and fill with water and sand.

[beanieb]

I love the syle of that bikini so it being toweling probably wouldn't put me off.

[Sagacious]

I fear my crochet bikini days are behind me
But thanks for the offer chevre

ISWYM about the towelling it would be a bit um absorbant.. perhaps its marketed for the slightly more mature tena lady market.

snort @ tena lady potential

[LilyAllensThirdNipple]

oh its very retro

[mrsmaidamess]

I had a turquiose one when I was 6 with a tortoiseshell ring between the 'cups'

[chevre]

oh v. cool mrsmm.

towelling was obligatory in the 70's on the beach but i like to think fabric technology has advanced beyond saggy bucket full of water toweling pants

[BunnyLebowski]

If I looked like her in the ad I would!

[bronze]

I dont wear bikinis but as they go that one looks quite cool

[twoluvlykids]

I;m with BunnyLebowski, and if I looked like that model, I'd happily do the weekly shop in that towelling bikini.

I'm sure I had a towelling bikini when I was a child (late 60s). When there was nothing to sag.

[fishie]

i had a yellow one in the 70s too. i think it is lovely and would wear it like a shot if i was bikini appropriate

[Flibbertyjibbet]

I have

But in my defence, it was 1973, we were on a caravan holiday in Rhyl and my mum had made me and my 3 sisters each a snazzy towelling bikini with groovy plastic ring detail at the sides of the pants and the middle of the top....

(not that I had anything for the top I was 9)

God those pants were saggy and full of sand after 2 mins, but it WAS pre-lycra in those days

(these days I hanker after one of those all in one victorian thingies )

[Flibbertyjibbet]

Oh phew, x posts with other 1970's towelling aficionados.

[SoupDragon]

I don't think that model has Tena Lady moments.

[LovelyRitaMeterMaid]

I had a knitted bikini when I was about 5. My gran knitted it. I think it would have been all right, but it was made of grey wool.

[chevre]

i don't know soupdragon she might catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror and wet herself with excitment, i know i would if i looked like that.

i tried to get some towelling material to make beachwear for dd but it is remarkably hard to get hold of
