- It was all the rage in Hollywood, with film stars showing a peek of skin in evening gowns and resort wear.
- The two piece swimsuit had become acceptable by now.
- Wartime L-85 restrictions meant you were showing your patriotism by wearing less fabric!Rayon bra top and skirt-like shorts for beach or play can be topped with the sharkskin beachcoat. All pieces by Junior Miss of California and sold by Jordan Marsh.
