1900's Bathing Costumes
COUNTED CROSS STITCH CHART BY PERRETTE SAMOUILOFF
1900 is when beach going and swimming became a truly fashionable summer leisure activity, drawing crowds to the seaside. Finding the right outfit became quite a challenge and stimulated a huge vogue of swimwear fashion creation.
Cross stitch designer Perrette Samouiloff captures the spirit of these early days, with this fun and elegant pattern featuring 6 young ladies in interesting bathing costumes.
Beach huts on wheels (such as the one appearing in the distance) also became a feature of seaside resorts. They were drawn by horses into the water and allowed the ladies some privacy when dipping into the water.
