Purls of the Sea, Part II
My dreams of escape to a remote tropical destination for a deco-bedecked vintage holiday continue; to wit, Fuzzy Lizzie has posted some colour pics of several unbelievable surviving examples of real 1930s knit bathing suits. Here are a couple of my favourites: the first, an Elsa Schiaparelli design-inspired swimsuit from 1928 (yes, Schia did design some bathing suits and this is an early knockoff) and the second a fabulous brown and yellow suit from 1932. Hmm...I'm getting ideas for how to beat the winter blues!
