Did you, like me, think sexy Halloween costumes were a modern day thing? Turns out, they’re not.
In fact, I found retro skin-baring or skintight costumes dating all the way back to 1908. Who knew?
I included exact dates when I had them — but the awesome sexy airplane up top is undated.
Enjoy the vintage wackiness!
