From my own informal poll, it’s clear that most women hate buying swimsuits. Beyond the awful lighting in the dressing rooms and those three-way mirrors that force you to glimpse parts of yourself that you generally don’t see, swimsuits often don’t run true to size so it can take hours to find one that fits and is practical for your age and body shape.

However, if you’re one of those girls who’s blessed with flat abs who never gets her swimsuit wet and believes that looking fabulous beats comfort, then today’s VPOD is for you!

This 1970s Giorgio di Sant Angelo bikini is tan nylon mesh and covered with hand-placed cut crystals.

It’s definitely not for a mom headed to the kiddie pool or water park, but it is a smashing find for a Riviera-bound vintage fashionista!

Available at Swank Vintage.
