Hollywood, CA 1931 CL3150 Costume Dark halter and belted pantaloon shorts. Heels. TML. Bellage. Actions Carol Lombard "is ready for a dip in the pool at her new Beverly Hills home," writes Screen Book, aluding to "a daring new swimming suit" (1). And daring it is, looking to be either a maillot with the tummy completely cut out, or a halter and shorts affair, with heels, and way ahead of its time (2). Commentary Movie stars might bare their bellies in stage dance costumes, but baring them in a swimsuit is a whole new deal! The downward slope of the ribline of the halter, suggesting it might dip to the waistline is a fashion line that will be in motion. Source Otto Dyer, photographer, in Screen Book, 1931, p. 32.
