The History of the Swimsuit
I know, I know it’s only December so why am I talking about swimsuits? Well, as I sit here munching on some plain and very boring carrot sticks, I am thinking about the cruise that I will be taking to the Cayman Islands in less than a month. I have been working on my bikini body for a few months now, and I figured I could kill two bird with one stone–look up bathing suits and find something to write about.
I found something really interesting that I just wanted to share with you all, and it shows the history of swimsuits. I mean if you think about it, there is no way that the bikini was the suit of choice in the early 1900s. So, how did it come about? And where did it get that name?
Did you even know that the only way women used to get into the water were in these things called bathing gowns that were dresses with weights on them? That’s a true story, but thank goodness the Roaring 20s came along and hemlines were raised and bathing suits were made smaller and seem much easier to wear. Find out more about swimsuits below!
