You may have never given it much thought, but women's swim suits have always been at the forefront of fashion history -- in a constant state of metamorphasis as it changes accordingly with the trends of the passing eras. First introduced more of as a cover-up for those daring enough to take a quick dip in the water, the bathing suit is now a palette of colors and fabrics for the competitive swimmer as well as the sun bather. There has been no end to the changing forms and functions of the bathing suit; as you browse the pages featuring its evolution, keep in mind that so much has been accomplished in swim wear, with so little material! In any case, enjoy the history and pictures! We hope you come away with knowing a little more about women swimwear. (C) Copyright 1997 - 2010 Roselyn Y. Hsueh Romano |
