Bathing suit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a short-sleeved black dress with a round collar and buttons down the front. The dress is knee-length and flared with a belt around the waist. The collar and sleeves are trimmed with two parallel stripes. One stripe is white and the other is orange. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight fabric. There are five buttons on the front. The background is plain white. The bathing suit, by an unnamed artist, shows a classic sailor-style design.
