Studio, Paris 1934 EG3410 Costume Haltered maillot cutout. Possibly belt. Shadows. TML. Armpit. Bellage. Actions Broadway performer Evelyn Grieg sits on a box, twists her body, and looks to the side (1). It is as if the top of her maillot or playsut is constructed and possibly buttoned to the shorts-cut legline culotte. Commentary The very beginnings of the maillot cutout silhouette. It is also significant that this is a haltered maillot, another innovation happening about now. Compare to CC3410, a similar silhouette but in a skirted version. So just ahead of mainstream.
