COME OUT & PLAY: bergdorf goodman playsuit ad 1953

a couple of months ago i was browsing through ebay using the search 'leopard playsuit' when i scrolled across this vintage ad for bergdorf goodman, the NY department store that i don't think i visited in '07 but wish i could time travel back to just to pick up this nifty little number - versatile!

here's the small print:

1953 news - leopard spots cooly printed on tawny cotton, for the newest, newsiest playsuit of the year. playsuit $20. cover-up black straw-finged cotton skirt $25.

the poster's in a tube on my floor waiting to be framed.
