EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the elegance and charm of the early 20th century with this image of Miss M. Odell, an Edwardian bathing beauty, proudly showcasing her stylish one-piece swimsuit. Dating back to circa 1910, this vintage photograph offers a glimpse into the history of women's swimwear and the evolution of beach culture. Miss Odell's bathing costume is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, featuring a V-neckline that accentuates her graceful decolletage and a sleek, one-piece design that flatters her figure. The go-faster stripes down the sides add a playful touch to the otherwise demure outfit, reflecting the emerging spirit of adventure and athleticism among women during this era. The Edwardian period, which spanned from 1901 to 1910, was marked by a renewed interest in leisure activities and the pursuit of health and wellness. Swimming became a popular pastime for the affluent classes, and bathing costumes evolved to accommodate this trend. However, modesty and propriety remained key considerations, as evidenced by the high necklines, long sleeves, and full coverage that characterized women's swimsuits of the time. This evocative photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to appreciate the rich history of women's swimwear and the enduring allure of the beach as a place of relaxation, recreation, and self-expression.
