What is happening to my Aussiebums

[singletlover]

I have one of the first suits they made. Light blue double panel front, single on the rear. The rear portion is almost see-thru, but a little stiff (not that guys). The double panel front is smooth as always.

The other issue is the waistband it seems that the drawstring is glued to the suit. I cannot get it to slide either way. I have always rinsed in the shower and air dry, never in the washer or dryer.

According to my database of lycra it was given to me in 2004 by Phil.

Any ideas?????
