Bathing suit 1895 - 1905

This black and white "Bathing Suit" is an example of late 19th-century women's fashion from the Wanamaker's department store. The suit features a sailor-inspired collar and a simple, knee-length skirt with white trim, reflecting a trend of nautical-inspired designs. This garment, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, provides insight into the evolving fashion trends of the era.
