Beach chair, Paris c. 1925 DX25BS Costume Purple and red front tie maillot pantaloons. Espadrilles. Headscarf. Sleeveless maillot with sidegather. TL. Cleavage. Crotch. Actions #2515 is a Parisian tease, and her one-piece, bare-legged maillot is très risquées for the period (1, 2). Not only that, but she teases the strap off her shoulder (3) but holds it in place (4)! #2553 is a "grisette" ("working girl"), and the faux-classic backdrops emphasize DIX's Continental allure (5), and studious nature (6, 7). #3047 wears a belt (8) and has a high legline (9). Commentary Note that the hand-colored swimsuit is not always hand-colored the same color. Note the two buttons on the shoulder strap. Source "DIX," Series 2515, 2553, and 3047.
