Jean Harlow Sleek Maillot

Poolside, California
c. 1935 JH3H10


Costume
   Maillot and cape.

   TL. Cleavage côté.

Actions
   Harlow leans against a pole (1). The same picture, reversed and cropped, and used in a magazine after her death (2).

Commentary
   This too advances the silhouette of the fitted increasingly backless maillot.
   Just what the straps might be--even if they exist--is eluded from view by the cape.

Source
   Many sources including flickr.com and ebay.com. Date is estimation. 2 pictures.
