Belly Chained Crochet Bikini

Beach exteriorn with rocks
c. 1964 JW6410

Costume
   Pink crochet soft-top halter and culotte nombril bikini. Belly chain.

   TML. N-3.

Actions
   A calm blonde stands on the beach and rests her arm on the rocks (1). The row of holes below her waistline provide a glimpse of extra skin, and the belly chain hangs waiting.

Commentary
   Mainstream bikini silhouette for the mid-1960s. Not as exposed as the starlets of Europe or pinups of men's magazines, but not overly constructed either.
