I could have done with an outfit like that when, as a teenager, my mum made me a towelling bikini? Completely forgetting how towels cope with excess water! Luckily I had an actual towel for the sake of my modesty!
Having read many descriptions about and seen other pictures of sea bathing from that time these are as expected. Thankfully we have other choices in our times. Thanks for sharing.
