Story 156: Bathing costumes

sunonthestubblesunonthestubble2

There are several movies and series showing bathing costumes, mainly set between 1910s-1930s, like The Waltons (s1e7), Looking for Miracles, Road to Avonlea, Wind at My Back, Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), Two Weeks with Love (all with entries here) and some more on my sailor suit blog like J'ai voulu rire comme les autres, Morte a Venezia, Rheinsberg (1967) and others. But I don't remember bathing costumes with braces at the straps.

Pics from Australian series "Sun on the Stubble" ep 3. 14 yo Jamie Croft?

Bathing costumes are like shortalls except for the fabric. Althought there are also shortalls out of cotton fabric. And often wet scenes. Also of interest short union suits.

Same movies, especially Looking for Miracles and also Big City (2007). I have some more posts about long union suits, long johns, mainly listed here.
