SWIM SUIT FASHIONS.

There are four favourite styles for jumping the waves with this summer. For the slim and boyish of figure there is the two-piece, which may consist of a bassiere top, or suntop vest and a brief pantie or shorts. Less extreme is the all-in-one costume, and for this choose wool gingham. It is so smart and effective. If you are fair of skin and fair-headed, a pastel check should be your choice, but if you are vivacious, energetic and always wear a holiday smile, a vivid check will look colourful and gay. The third popular type of swim suit is guaranteed to suit every woman. It must be a skirted costume, in a fairly thick rib knit with a square or round neckline, adjustable straps and a non-existent back. This style of bathing suit must be perfectly cut and be very simply trimmed. I’oeijsts buttons, tassels, belts, wool-embroicieic* flowers are the finishing touches for this style. The fourth and last costume has etceteras to it. When you trip down to the sea first of all, for instance, h appears that you are not clad for ser bathing. Perhaps you have on short: or a skirt that wraps around and but tons all the way down the front, or. perhaps you’ll wear a coat-frock which also buttons or ties, or which is easy to remove. Whatever you choose, and there are many clever ideas to follow, the point is that all the tops can be slipped off to reveal you in a matching costume, just ready for your dip in the sea!
