  Hope you don't mind answers from fellas, but from memory, I think that the belt was an old military webbing belt, bleached.

  Rachel,
  
  There was a collector that posts on this board that had one made but I am afraid it was a one off...if anyone gets industrious enough to do one I will be right behind you...uh, in ordering one as well.

  Yep, still working on finding someone to make one, will let you know if I find anything...then u can add it to your massive collection (which I'm very, very envious of..though I'm sure I'm not the only one!)

  Well, the guy who has one is from Belgium, and it was also made in Belgium. I don't know if this helps a lot, but it can help you narrow the search.

  Not quite; it was a Navy belt. White is standard issue (or was in '50s/'60s; no idea if they're used today).

  That man is 100% right. And you should still find them as they are still issued in a slightly updated form. Vintage ones are also still easily obtainable.

  Google "white pistol belt". The problem might be getting one from that era? I'm not sure what the differance might be! But they sell them for parades and such.

  Also do a search for Royal Marine white webbing, or RM Band webbing.

  If you are referring to 'bootnecks' Paul, I'd have to concur :v

  Ehem... I'm not sure any of the answers that come to mind would make a PG-13 cut on the forum.

  This belt is close, although the buckle is wrong. But for the price, you can't beat it. Good luck!

  Hello, I 'm the guy from Belgium who has the bikini in his collection. See my old post: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/index.php?topic=24427
  A tailor made the bikini. The belt I bought in a local army dump and the knife I made myself.

  i'm glad i restarted this thread (albeit, tongue in cheek)...
  
  Kleynen, loved ur pics first time round...would you consider helping a bunch of us (especially rachel, who has kindly offered to model for us ;% ) get some more of these made..I for one would be keen, and not too fussed on cost...i'd suspect another 6-7 would join in...we'd be forever in your debt...
  
  best rgds Paul

  I promises nothing, but I 'll ask the tailor again. I know he is very busy and not really interested in making a batch of identical pieces.
  I 'll ask if I can have his 'blueprints' and then look for another tailor who is willing to make a batch.
  Making a bikini looks simple, but it's not! I already asked many tailors around the world (Belgium, Singapore, Thailand).
  Speaking about the cost: I paid 200 euros for it (without belt and knife). Not cheap, but I 'm very pleased with the result.

  Thank you for asking him...like Paul I would be VERY excited to get one of these and the price point is fine.
  
  BTW, what is it made of?

  The fabric is a kind of stretch. (According my tailor this type of fabric was also used in the past for bathing suits.)
  The color is not real white, but slightly white-brown-yellow.
  The real size of Ursula was used for this replica. I looked it up on the internet.
  And for the rest I based the design on pictures.

  Judging by the type of buckle, I think you'll find that this belt is a little too lightweight.

  Wow...you go away for a little while and boom....
  
  Yep, those are the pics I saw, and i would definitely be very very interested in getting a replica!!! (what size is yours made in?)

  Almost 10 years.
  Ursula had a 36-24-36 frame.

  a reasonable rate of return
