West Germany c. 1960 KG6030 Costume Red diamond pattern on white bandeau and nombril. Blue scarf around neck. TML. N-2. Armpits. Actions This postcard lass smiles as she kneels in the surf, hands behind head, teeth white (1). Commentary This more daring cut of the bottom signals the trend of the mainstream with its flowing waistline and tighter fit. The exact purpose of the two red strands between the bandeau and the shoulder is uncertain. They may be a single shoulder strap, making this top a single shoulder strapped bra, but the Chief Bikini Scientist has continued to classify the soutien-gorge as bandeau because of the intent of its construction and horizontal focus. The future is headed toward the string triangle halter, but, hey, let the debate rage on. Source Postcard 900/212, Kruger, West Germany, date is estimation. Collected from Imperial Collectables on ebay, Internet, 2002. 1 picture. |
