Broadly defined, the bikini represents a social leap involving body consciousness, moral concerns, and sexual attitudes. Simply defined, the bikini is an abbreviated two-piece swimsuit with a bra top and panties cut below the navel. The difference between the bikini and its two-piece predecessor is brevity. Though these ensembles were alluring and sexy, they were not necessarily scandalous. Concurrently, these styles were being seen on the silver screen courtesy of Mack Sennett’s Bathing Beauties and, in a sarong version, Dorothy Lamour in the 1937 film Hurricane.
From the early 1930s, stylish resorts were frequented by women wearing midriff-baring two-piece bathing suits consisting of a bra and modest, shortslike trunks.
