Eight Bathing Beauties Get Their Feet Wet

Florida
1950 PC5010

Costume
   Blue, red, white, green, yellow and orange bra and sheath and halter and sheath deux-pièces.

   TML.

Actions
   "Water nymphs at a tropical beach in Florida," reads the caption on this color postcard (1). The lasses all wear markedly similar swimsuits as they splash into a quiet surf.

Commentary
   Dating this image is a challenge, because the physical postcard suggests the date above, whereas the style of the swimsuits is strictly retro. But post-war Florida is not a French pinup, so the Bikini Scientist is cautioned that there is a big difference between a leading trend and a mature silhouette.
