Bathing Fashion

Wonderful film of seven women parading the latest in 1920s beachwear, including a stylish hat that can be worn while diving, at Chiswick outdoor pool.

This terrific short promises to reveal “this season’s toilettes for the seaside which water cannot spoil”, and goes on to show seven elegant woman, who emerge simultaneously from the two-storey changing rooms at Chiswick’s Edensor Road pool. Carrying parasols and wearing very stylish costumes – including a hat that can be worn while diving - they nibble on ice cream cones before splashing about in the small outdoor pool.
