VPOD: Vintage 1950s DeWeese Maillot Swimsuit and Petrie Point Designs

Used to be that I’d spy a gorgeous but oh-so-tiny vintage 1950s swimsuit like today’s VPOD by DeWeese Designs and be oh-so-sad that I couldn’t squeeze my petite frame into it. But now I’ve learned that there is an equally fun option if you can’t wear one of these beauties—hang it on your wall!

Susan Petrie, founder of Petrie Point Designs, takes magnificent vintage swimsuits from the 1920s to the 1960s and turns them into timeless works of art. One of her pieces graced the cover of Interior Design Magazine last year and her work has been praised by the likes of Coastal Living Magazine, Hamptons Magazine, and Apartment Therapy.

She brilliantly pairs each hand-selected suit with just the right framing to really make each suit shine. Prices range from $700-$1900. So next time you’re gaping with awe at an itty-bitty teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini (or a dandy DeWeese like our VPOD), just call Susan and put a frame on it!

It’s a wonderful decorating alternative for a vintage fashionista!

Swimsuit available at Adore Vintage.
