What do I possibly have in common with iconic sex symbols Rita Hayworth & Marilyn Monroe? Three words: Rose Marie Reid. This nautical beauty pictured above is a Rose Marie Reid original. RMR was an innovative swimsuit designer that ruled the fifties and early sixties. Rita & Marilyn both owned a Rose Marie suit, this boosted sales drastically. Rose was noted for designing a one piece suit without the use of buttons, she created suits to flatter every figure. Emilio Pucci even designed fabrics for some of RMR's suits in the sixties. After researching Rose Marie's labels, my suit is from the early 60's and it is in great shape! I plan to sell it online, if anyone is interested in buying it before it is listed, let me know! For further reading on Rose Marie, check out this informative bio out by Vintage Vixen.
