The Hammies Bikini is based on one of the original bikini styles from the 1960s. It combines elements from a couple of our favorite vintage finds, such as white rick rack trim, faux button closure in the back of the top, darts, and a vertical two-tone colorway. The body and rick rack are made with 15% stretch to accommodate bodies of all shapes and sizes. The buttons and white contrasting trim match the details of our Smock and Cabana Set and really complete that mid-century look.

The Bikini is our latest and greatest of many pieces that celebrate the exuberant and underappreciated styles from 1950-60s swim style. This is your grandma's bikini!

The Inspiration

 

The History

The history of the swimsuit is a fascinating tale of American and European prudishness of dress starting in the early 20th century. Prior to the 1940s, most women swam in full garb, including dresses, stalkings, boots, and a weight belt to keep them from floating. Men's swimwear was much less oppressive in comparison (essentially a wool onesie until barechestedness became acceptable in the 1930s). The bikini took the fashion stage in the 1930s but didn't gain public acceptance until the 1960s. For the next 40 years, the swimsuit, and the bikini specifically, pushed the limits of American fashion and modesty more than any other wardrobe item. If you want to learn more, we recommend Making Waves: Swimsuits and the Undressing of America by Lena Lenček and Gideon Bosker.

Retro bikini of my dreams

As a short gal with a short torso, I was worried about the only 3 size options, but despite a bit of extra fabric gathering a bit above my waist, it actually fits quite well and is super cute. I love the fabric and cut and style of this bikini.

Two tone blue

Like other folks have said, the material feels very high quality. The shape of the top is super cute and comfy, and I expect it will hold up during activity (vs simply lounging—both of which I do in my swimwear). I would say sizing of both pieces runs just a tad big—if you’re in between sizes, or if like me, you fit into two size categories, may be best to size down. I went with M over S because my measurements are more aligned with the M suit. Mine fits well dry, but I do wonder how much it will stretch when wet.
Two tone blue reverses to solid lighter blue, which was a nice surprise to me bc I didn’t see that advertised! Also, two tone blue doesn’t have the buttons on the back of the top. Fine by me bc I do a lot of snorkeling and prefer to avoid shiny details on my swimsuits, but may be good to know in case that’s a feature you look forward to.
My order was marked “delivered” but didn’t actually make it to me, and Hammie’s made it right with a replacement. So pleased with my purchase that I plan to keep an eye for additional swim styles/colors from this brand.

So cute!

This bikini top is so retro! It is very stretchy. The size chart put me in an LX and that was too big, the girls were coming out of the bottom. I exchanged for a large and it’s perfect. I wear a 36G or 38DDD bra.

Gingham swimsuit

I absolutely love it! I tried it on and it’s nice and snug it’s so cute just what I have been looking for since not a lot of people make 50’s style swimsuits anymore this is a good quality swimsuit will definitely order more in different colors!

Great quality

Amazing quality!! The swimsuit is super thick and is a flattering cut. It’s so cute on. My only complaint would be the sanitary sticker they used was too sticky and it took me a good hour to peel a million tiny stickies off when the paper ripped.. other than that it’s an amazing swimsuit and will definitely buy more when I can!
