Ocean c. 1943 MS4310 Costume Black and white polka-dot shelf halter and sheath. TML. Actions A woman full of smiles emerges from the surf (1). Commentary This swimsuit has all the trappings of an early 1940s deux-pièces--note the shelf under the halter, the skirted panty, and the waistline above the navel. The polka dots are a reminder of Chili Williams 1943 swimsuit, and this may be of a similar vintage. Source "Run for Cover," The New York TImes, July 7, 1988. Date is estimation and this could be a clever restage. 1 picture. |
