Brassiere Changed Dressing Handbag Husband Mar17 Pair Preparing Ready Shingle Stony Sunbathing Underwear Undress Undressing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the quintessential experience of getting changed on the beach during the 1950s. The image portrays a determined woman, dressed in a floral sundress and holding a small wicker handbag, preparing to undress on the stony shingle. Her husband, clad in a smart blazer and trousers, looks on unhelpfully from a distance. The couple's expressions suggest a sense of amusement and resignation, as if this scene was a regular occurrence in their beachside holidays. The woman's undergarments, including a brassiere and panties, are laid out on a towel, ready for the next stage of her transformation into her swimming costume. The seaside resort setting, with its coastal backdrop and sunbathing couples in the background, adds to the nostalgic atmosphere. Despite the challenges of changing in a public and exposed location, the woman maintains her composure and dignity, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of women in the face of everyday difficulties. This image is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, evoking memories of simpler times and the joys of a British seaside holiday.
