France 1969 FV6950 Costume Pascal soft bra and sidering bikini. Waistband. TML. N-7. Actions A fashion model tosses her hand back, inhales, and directs her hands downward, mimicking the lowering waistline of the bikini brief (1). Commentary High fashion at the very end of the 1960s is a lowering waistline that has collided with the legline such that only a ring connects the front and back of the bikini. The bra is still very constructed and somewhat covering; the waistband with its lowering dangle indicates directionality.
