About this book

Women's Bathing and Swimming Costume in the United States is a paper by Claudia B. Kidwell, dated 1968. Its contents list an introduction, cultural environment, bathing costume, swimming costume and conclusions, and its short summary says it traces the swim suit from colonial times to the present.

One passage notes that descriptions of women's bathing dress are scarce before the third quarter of the 19th century, and looks back at swimming in ancient Greece and Rome. The text carries captioned figures, such as a bathing costume from The Delineator of July 1884 and a bathing hat of purple straw from about 1880. It mentions a black poplin specimen of 1860 in the Brooklyn Museum that may be a bathing dress, and a writer of 1857 whom it quotes.
