Also from the McCord - A glance at the Dress, Fashion and Textiles collection.
Bathing suits encapsulate some of the inherent contradictions in ideas about modesty and bodies. They are meant for public viewing, and yet for swimming they need only provide minimal body coverage. Changes in the fashionable bathing suit indicate changing ideas about the ultimate limits of revealing. Swimsuits of the late 1940s and 1950s took their inspiration from fashionable evening dress. Created from stiff and shimmering fabrics, and very form-fitting, some went so far as to mould the body with boned bodices. Many were strapless or had removable straps, ensuring an even suntan in an evening gown.
