A historical overview traces bathing suit evolution from an eight-pound wool one-piece of 1915 to the 1960s bikini era. It covers Kellerman’s 1910s innovations, World War II fabric changes, the 1947 French bikini, Gernreich's topless design, and shifting silhouettes through the 1950s and 1960s.
The article traces the bikini from private pools to public beaches across the Mediterranean Caribbean and Hawaii. It notes shrinking fabric sizes from two to three ounces to two and a half to three and a half ounces, with costs rising to $25 or more. Designer quotes cite engineering as the cost factor as body liberation themes loom for the 1980s.
