"Playsuits" in Florida Fashions (1957)

Fifties fashions were mostly very adult and formal.  On the other hand, leisurewear could sometimes be downright childish—as, for example, these "playsuits" which appear to be grown-up versions of rompers.  (Note, however, how they both came with their own wraparound skirts for when their wearers wanted to cover up and be adults again!)


DAISY DARLIN'... gay appliqued daisies on cuffed bodice and down the button-front skirt.  1-piece playsuit has two pockets, self-belt, side zipper.  Drip-dry—Little or no-iron cotton.
CALYPSO CHARMER... it's the new rage!  Be the first to wear it in your town!  "Banana" button skirt has solid color waist-cinch cummerbund to match gay "calypso" print.  1-piece playsuit has cool halter-back, smart cuffed leg.  Self belt.  Washable silky-fine cotton.
