The repros are just really limited. Your best bet is to scour Ebay every couple of days and be willing to pay, especially since you are pretty specific about what you want.

There's a new nautical repro up on pinupgirlclothing right now - http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/nautical-retro-swimsuit.html

There's a nautical shirt up on Ebay right now that was part of a swimsuit and is listed with the swimwear. It looks like it's long enough to wear over a cute pair of short shorts for the same kind of look you're going for.

I was just at the swapmeet at the Roadium in Torrance and saw 2 playsuits that were top and shorts in one. They really looked vintage and were cheap, so they are out there.

I couldn't see it mentioned earlier, but has anyone seen the playsuits by Cal-Noir?! I don't think their website's up and running yet, but have a look on eBay - They're YUM!

I hope it's okay to revive this old thread to post a link: A look back at womens swimwear
It has a few nice photos from the 1900's till today plus several links where to buy vintage inspired bathing suits.
