Beach, California c. 1927 CB2L20 Costume X-back maillot playsuit. Hat, towel. Beach ball. TL. Armpits. Actions Bow sits on the beach, turns around and looks at us, and gives us a wink (1). She holds her beach ball and gives a wave (2). Commentary Okay, once again this costume looks like it can get wet or it can stay dry. Maillot or playsuit? Compare to other maillots at Clara Bow. Once again, the back is very much in play; buttons provide the fastening detail. Source Attributed to Otto Dyar, photographer, by AliceJapan, flickr.com.
