| Helly Hepburn Melons and Sweet Cheeks |
WHERE TO PURCHASE: Lace Embrace Atelier
PRICE:$$$
SIZING: Custom/Made to Measure
Melons and Sweetcheeks Lingerie is a local Vancouver company that we just love! Their custom made bathing suits are so well constructed and made to fit. They feature vintage bullet bra tops and a high waist bottom comes up quite high unlike other vintage repro swimwear. So for you gals looking for a high waist bikini bottom that only shows a little bit of your midriff this is the suit for you. Melons and Sweetcheeks is on the higher price point, however after owning one I can honestly say the money is worth it. This suit is so incredible! You can also contact Melons and Sweetcheeks and together come up with a bathing suit that is 100% unique to you.

BRAND: Bettie Page
WHERE TO PURCHASE: Scout Boutique or Online
PRICE: $$
SIZING: 0-26 (depending on suit)
These bathing suits are so beautiful. They truly capture Bettie Pages iconic style. Bettie Page was known for making her own bikinis and lingerie so when Bettie Page (the clothing line) took over new management they started reproducing her famous swim wear. The price point of these swimsuits are good for someone on a budget and they are generally on sale online. But if you simply cannot wait and you need this swimsuit now, get your butt to Scout Boutique and one of their amazing girls will help you find the suit for you.

| Evilyn 13 Deadly Dames Clothing |
WHERE TO PURCHASE: New World Designs or Pinupgirlclothing.com
PRICE: $$
SIZING: XS - 2XL
This is quite possibly the most incredible bikini I have ever owned. I remember first seeing it on the site and thinking, "I have to have this all over my body!" Sure enough when I got it in the mail it fit like a dream. This bathing suit is constructed so well, and the colours do not fade when swimming in chlorine like some bathing suits do. I can't say more good things about this suit other then you need one. Now!
BRAND:Unique Vintage
 |
| Ruby Roxx Unique Vintage |
PRICE: $
SIZING: XS-4XL
Unique Vintage swim wear is not only very affordable for those of you on a tight budget they also offer some of the cutest one piece and two piece bathing suits on the market. They try to emulate the iconic Esther Williams look. These suits are well made and will last for more then a season. The great thing about Unique Vintage is that they offer a large size run from 0 to 18 or xs to 4xl, they truly offer something for every body! Did I mention they are hella cute?!
There you have it. Some of our favourite pin-up swim wear companies. I wanted to cover all the basis from smaller sizes to plus sizes as well as a pretty good price range, and if you are looking for something on the low cost end of things these brands are still really remarkable quality. Or if you are splurging and can get something custom go for it! I always recommend going for custom as you will be the only one in it and they typically last longest, or the maker will fix it up if you need things fixed on it. Just with my personal experience.
Hope this helps! If you have any thing that you would like to read please comment below!
