Beach, probably France 1964 BB6403 Costume String strap underwire bra and sidetie string bikini. Hat. TML. N-4. Actions Bardot models a small string bikini on the beach. She holds onto her hat. It's windy out here. Commentary The complexity of this soutien-gorge is typical of the period. Besides the underwire the construction of the cups include both fabric from the center of the wire which connects to the shoulder straps, as well as a second piece of fabric which curves under this and provides additional coverage. The culotte is pure 1960s, with sideties but not yet a pure string embodiment. Source Source unknown, appears in various books and Internet sites. Date from Sean French, Bardot, Pavilion Books, London, 1994. 1 picture. |
