Palm Springs, California 26 December 1938 PS3850 Costume Zebrette Lastex strapless maillot, $11.95. TL. Cleavage. Nippage? Armpit. Tan lines. Actions This underwater shot of a swimmer features the latest strapless bathing suit (1). Commentary Life spins this story as competition between East Coast and West Coast swimsuit designers, yet at the same time showcases the delta of this strapless maillot. The residual tan lines of last summers haltered maillot are quite visible, and the dangers--and eroticism--of the strapless are highly suggestive.
