Studio, Hollywood 1934 AS3420 Costume Small polka-dot halter and back button wrapped panty deux-pièces. Heels. TML. Bellage. Actions Ann Sheridan wins a beauty contest to earn her place as a Hollywood starlet, and like other hopefuls, she performs wearing one of the new and extremely permissive deux-pièces. Front (1), back (2), larger (3). Commentary One is not sure if this is a swimsuit or a dance costume, but if it is a swimsuit it is very advanced for 1934. This is before she earns her title as "The Oomph Girl." But look at how tight-fitting this is on Sheridan's butt!
