Patterns of the Past - Active Sportswear?


I'd like to see someone try to actually swim in #2441. From Smart Sewing, 1949.

Some of those clothes are awfully cute...

These are wonderful. Thanks. You are right - trying to actually swim in 2441 would be dangerous. I certainly hope the pattern included bloomers or such to wear under the skirt...

Actually I did swim in a suit like that it was actually easy. I believe it was made of lined rayon and had a built in bra and panties
