The History of Swimwear Paper Dolls make a Big Splash with four dolls who wear swimwear through the ages, beginning with ancient Grecian styles and ending with today’s abbreviated bikinis. The swimming costumes, illustrated by Tom Tierney, represent stiles from the totally enclothed 19th century, through the modest Gay '90s and on to tanks and stockings of the '20s, maillot suits of the '30s, midriff styles of the '40s, the cabana look and bikinis of the '50s, surfer trunks of the '70s and on up to the sexy swimsuits of today. Included is Tom’s own essay charting the fascinating fashion and social attitudes reflected in swimwear.
