SWIMWEAR OLD AND NEW

The following photo was taken in the early 1940's.

My pretty mother is the first young girl on the left.

She is dressed in blue and sitting next to her are her 2 sisters. They were a very close family. My mother had  4 other sisters and  2 brothers (7 in all)

I wore almost the same one-piece swimsuit in the 60's but cut higher on my legs and shaped to my body. 

At the time the 2 piece bathing suit had just come in fashion. 

Then in the 70's the bikini was all the rage. Hence the song  ltsy Bitsy, Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini -which was a big hit. 

Now on the beaches you see it all. The one piece swimsuit down to the skimpiest bikini.

Also the topless look, aiming for the perfect suntan.

Do you remember the old style bathing suits?
