Perfect #151 Tank Top & Shorts

Real beach, Paris
c.1925 VG0064_151

Costume
Striped top and solid bottom maillot tank, with belt. Bathing cap.

   TL. Barefoot.

Actions
   Perfect Girl #151, later in the numbering scheme, has migrated to a striped and solid combination, complete with a belt--and a risqué leg pose (1, 2).

Commentary
   Earlier Perfect Girls wear solid maillot pantaloon swimsuits (VG0064BS); this silhouette emerges mid-decade.
