1950s/1960s Carol Brent Bikini

1950s/1960s Carol Brent bikini! Carol Brent was a house brand at Montgomery Ward. This bikini was too beautiful for me not to rescue! Tagged as a size 34. Measurements down below. The bottoms are like new. The top looks great BUT the foam padding vas disintegrated. To the eye it looks fine but it's hard, breaking apart into granuals. I assume the only way to salvage it would be to cut a little slit in the lining to allow the padding pieces to exit and just wear without padding to sew in new padding. Either way, like I said, this piece was too good to see it be thrown away. Someone could make this a pinup girl dream!
Measurements below taken laid flat:
Waist 11-14" (11" at rest, 14" stretched)
Hips 15-18" (15" at rest, 18" stretched)
Rise 11"
Leg hole opening 6"-9" (6" at rest, 9" stretched)
24"-26" under bust (this is total length of the bottom of the swim suit top, not latched)
Just looking to recover my small cost (🏷8+ship) to rehome it somewhere where someone could try to give it fresh life out of a landfill.
