Jean Harlow La Bourrasque

Hollywood
1936 JH3610


Costume
   Backless maillot.

   TL.

Actions
   Harlow poses with her hands on her hips (1). This maillot even has a name (2).

Commentary
   This widely-distributed image appears in many contempory sources. The maillot is tight-fitting, still has shoulder straps, a tiny leg, and completely bares the underarm. See especially the relationships with the maillots in early 1930s.

Source
   From Daniel Blum, A Pictorial History of the Talkies, Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1958. This is coincidental with her movie Reckless in 1935. 2 pictures.
