Art work details
A bathing costume in scarlet wool machine embroidered in white cotton with a diaper of hexagons. The suit is made with a back and V necked front in embroidered wool and fastens with press studs on the left shoulder. The skirt partially covers drawers of plain stockinet which are sewn in at low waist level. Inside is the label 'The Ocean Bathing Suit Co, New York' and comes from the former premises of Meridian Ltd. It is likely that this, and others now in the museum's collection, were obtained for research purposes.
