Provenance Note:
Rose-Leen swimwear was produced in Montreal, Canada, during the mid-20th century and marketed as fashionable beachwear through Canadian department stores. The playful ?bubble butt? silhouette became popular in the 1950s as designers experimented with sculptural swim shapes that emphasized the waist and hips.
