Show AMERICAN BATHING SUIT WORLD'S BEST Paris, the style center of the world, lags far behind America In the design of one Important feminine garment, according ac-cording to Baron de Meyer, famous French stylist and fashion authority. That garment Is the one-piece bathing' suit. The American one-piece may not be modest but it's the most modish gar: ment of its kind in the world, the baron writes In Harper's Bazaar. Nothing and only nothing can equal it for showing off the feminine figure to the best advantage. "N'othina made in Europe can beat the quality of the American-made bathing bath-ing suit," Baron de Meyer writes. "No other suit of its kind apparently gives the female figure so perfect a shape." In one way, however, the French suits have the bulge on all others. They're so tight that they cause their wearers to bulge in the wrong places, the baron says. European bathing suits would improve, im-prove, the French stylist believes, If their designers would spend their summer sum-mer vacations on the beaches studying the needs of bathers. At present it Is very difficult to obtain a stylish suit on the continent The few women who do Insist on smart bathing suits are obliged to have them made to order. |
