1900s BATHING SUITS
In the early 1900s, the
only activity for women in the
ocean involved jumping through
the waves while holding onto a
rope attached to an off-shore
buoy. Women typically
dressed in black, knee-length, puffed-sleeve
wool dresses, often featuring a sailor collar,
and worn over bloomers or drawers trimmed with
ribbons and bows. The bathing costume was
typically accessorized with long black
stockings, lace-up bathing slippers, and fancy
caps.
