Beach, Europe c. 1929 BL2L50 Costume Bra and shorts deux-pièces swimsuit or maillot cuttout. Belt. TML. Bellage. Actions A young Lilian Bond (most likely at the beginning of her acting career) stands on the beach wearing a swimming costume that bares a sliver her belly (1). No hat, no shoes; no inhibitions. Commentary Bare bellies and bare legs might a stable of dance outfits from the late teens and throughout the 1920s, but bare-midriff swimsuits are NOT. And so this young starlet is definitely breaking the rules--especially wearing this on a real beach outside. Separates emerge at the very end of the 1920s and the early 1930s, but only the most daring are prepared to embrace them. Source Aka Lillian Bond. Pinup card B-12. Source and exact date unknown.
