Bath towel swim suit and creator
International News Photos (New York, N.Y.) · September 2, 1944
Pretty ingenious, or ingeniously pretty (if you like), is Jenie Freeland, the bell-tolling belle smiling at you above. Jenie made that swim suit she's wearing from a couple of ordinary bath towels. Attractive and form-fitting, the suit costs, not counting the half-hour's labor, 80 cents. Jenie is 17 and a resident of Miami Beach.
