Evolution of suits over the years

[Torchwatch]

Byron, 1966 was the year of "They think it's all over, it is now!"

The string sided suits came from an era before stretch fabrics, the suit could be made body tight by adjusting the strings.

I remember seeing them in the 1960's in the old Victorian municipal pool. They kind of caught the eye.

Putting eyelets into Lycra is very difficult as the fabric is so thin and stretchy. I've tried it.

We do seem to keep coming back to Jantzen on this board, they must have been an important part of life in the USA.
