Ms. Kodachrome Cover Girl Bikini

American Beach
August 1950 US5001

Costume
   Red and white patterned front-gather bandeau and sidegather nombril.

   TML. N-2. Armpits.

Actions
   A bathing beauty stretches on the beach, her belly button exposed to the newsstand (1).

Commentary
   A very modern, colorful, and risqué bikini: a strapless bandeau with a nombril and with sidegathers that proffer even more exposure. Some of the beauties inside are equally exposed, but others are more conservative (US5002).
