1925 CC25AA

Costume
   Cole of California striped and solid belted maillot skirted pantaloon.

   TL.

Actions
   This swimsuit model poses by the pool and expresses alarm at being captured in this year's latest swimwear (1).

Commentary
   "The 1925 silhouette makes news in the fashion world by replacing the subdued black, browns and grays of past seasons with bright colors and bold stripes. Knitted and tank topped, the swimsuit takes on an aspect similar to that of today's suits." -- Cole picture caption.
   Oops, the restage art director should have given her shoes!
