By JUDY JACOBS
What prudes were they of the
1800's who to milady said, "Dress
so as to pass unobserved."
By 1900 the fashion motto dra-
matically switched to "Dress so
as to challenge admiration."
Yet, nothing called bathing suit
appeared until 1910, according to
the Ladies Home Journal. Best
described as monstrosities, these
suits were one-piece, sleeveless,
black, long-legged, high-necked,
and wool.
"Era of New Women"
The roaring twenties initiated
the "Era of the New Woman" and
the trend of exfoilation (defined
by our trusty American College
Dictionary as scaled-off). Billow-
ing in the summer breeze were
the bloomer bathing suits. Loose-
fitting and sleeveless, the suits had
knee-length bloomers which sub-
stituted for skirts.
Society of 1925 stood shocked
as women's legs were exposed on
the beach for the first time. In
1930 "A Decade of Charm" ush-
ered in the v-neck, new materials
such as celanese and jersey, and a
wide variety of colors. Many suits
were two-toned.
Two Piece Suit
The two-piece suit of 1935 may
have provided more freedom of
movement, but it did create a
figure problem. If you had a spare
tire around your middle . .. well,
it was just tough luck. These suits
were made of satin lastex, white
rubber, and of shirred cotton las-
tex. New innovations of the sea-
son were matching beach robes
and beach shoes.
Why did the strapless bathing
suit come into existence? To in-
sure mademoiselle of the 1940's
with a smoother tan. Social sig-
nificance? To make her more ap-
pealing in an evening gown.
Briefer and Briefer
Increased independence ,and
wider participation of women in
community and business activities
led to more freedom in bathing
suit attire. The trend was getting
briefer and briefer and briefer.
Fads came and went in the
bathing suit world. The fad of all

New Crop of Swim Suits
fads in 1949 was the Bikini. Cre-
ated by the French, the original
Bikini was a scanty affair made
from two large cotton handker-
chiefs.
Strapless, boned, skin-tight,
moldable nylon and taffeta swim
suits were 1950 features. This
year's styles, with a few new in-
novations offer a flashback to
briefer flapper and bloomer styles.
In comparison to their sisters of
the past, today's women are defi-
nitely in the swim.
Prints, plaids and checks will
make news in bathing suits this
season, fashion experts have pre-
dicted. -

Be she sun-worshiper or Nep-
tune's daughter, 1955's eager
beach-goer no longer need worry
about sun or water ruining her
swim suit.
Thanks go to a new blend of
nyloi fabric.
This. latest discovery ensures
form-fitting flattery and conItort
as well. The yarn is strong, fine
and resilient and promises to be
quick-drying and water-and-wear
resistant.
Wool Suits Absent
Although fashion magazines
have predicted a revival of the
flapper era in beach styles, not
one wool tank-type suit was seen
in local stores. Nor was there any
sign of the Dior influence.
Instead, the majority of suits
are novelty prints in gay cotton
or combinations of acetate, elas-
ticized , cotton and rubber, and
also the ever-popular lastex.
"Wool suits will probably never
be in style again," one merchant
commented, "because they do
nothing for a girl's figure. De-
signers have performed miracles
with the built-in wonders of the
nylon suits."
"Miracles" Performed
A local shop features one such
"miracle" in a suit with a shirred
bottom-assuring perfect fit for
the tall coed as well as for her
shorter sister. A row of white
beads along the top lends interest-
ing appeal to this simple black
lastex suit.
Gone are the days when swim
suits came only in conventional
solid colors and in just one ma-
terial. Designers are wildly com-
bining colors and using fabrics
unthought of for beach tog use.
Styles Varied
No longer of one common style,
today's bathing suit is varied and
individual. It is designed to com-
ply with the wearer's taste
Styles have changed very little
from last season's models. The
most noticeable addition is the
higher front, accompanied by a
lower back. The trend still fa-
vors the one-piece suit.
Hundreds of dancing ginger-
bread nien provide an unusual
variation in design in a cotton
suit displayed in another store.
This model has a ruffled skirt and
comes in delightful ice cream
colors. Vivid, striking jewel tones
are also popular.
Italian Design Featured
One shop carries a bathing suit
bearing a label that its ceramic
print was taken from an authen-
tic Italian vase design.
Cotton suits are priced from
about $7.95 to $14.95. The lastex
and acetate blends range from
$12.95 to $25.
From all indications, this sea-
son promises to be one of the gay-
est, brightest summers by the
beautiful sea. Practical, comfort-
able, and beautiful suits will add
to fun in the sun.
