They were included in a bag containing these vintage swimsuit patterns at a local Goodwill understand, almost all of their instructions specifies the option for sewn-in pads that was common in those eras but are not common nowadays apparentlySound like you're quite the expert on such things?
Short funny story.
Circa: Early '60s.
I was just a young boy, 6-7 maybe? I found my mothers, uhh, "Enhancements" I'll call them. She told me they were a swimming aid.
Edit. If one desired a very specific era's look, they have to either make their own, or find such vintage pads/enhancements/etc in order to be more.. faithful to the Era, as opposed to being "modern interpretations". As there are quite a number of rockabilly betties around here. I figured may as well as do something with the stretch fabrics I have gotten for the wife some of the patterns looks good for rompers/sexy nighties/teddies, some look more suitable for actual swimwear
