About MeThe tubular shape of this bathing costume with high scoop neck was popular in the 1920s. It is made of machine-knitted cotton jersey which gives a smoother fit than hand-knitting.
The two mother-of-pearl buttons on the left shoulder allow the costume to open up slightly to make it easier to put on.
