I came across some great photos of the Miss Newport contest from 1947. The winner was a lovely lady named Helen McFetridge.
I think I am in love with the last two swimsuits!
And I absolutely adore this picture:
Here is the Miss Newport delegation in front of the Abbey Pier and the Abbey Hotel:
And this photo on the beach (I LOVE this swimsuit!!):
These are great pictures. Love the swimsuits.

For a moment I thought it was Newport South Wales where I went to school but it was always to cold for swimsuits and being glamourous....
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an ounce as much glamour as those girls in the photo

I love that last swimsuit on the right! If I even make a retro suit, it's now going to look like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting such lovely pics.
