This is an ad for Robby Len from 1959. The suit is called Strategic Sprite. Canoe by Abercrombie & Fitch. Knitted two piece effect in Helenca and Lastex. Perky sailor-piping neck and V back. Belted waist. Striped pants with navy or red top. Sizes 32-38. About $15. That's about $112.00 in today dollar. I really like this suit, it would be cute with a skirt over for day time shipping or dining and without for the beach.
