Comments: Lady's turn of the
century bathing costumes were predominantly made using black or navy
fabrics. This red and white stripe is a delightful find. Please note
that in several of the photographs the narrow vertical stripes look like
wavy moiré fabric; this is technical defect - the fabric is indeed
striped! |
