Perhaps some women were self conscious and did wear more coverings than the general fashions of the beach.
I was not one to feel comfortable wearing bikinis as that self conscious teen thing in the 1960s made us feel, especially if well endowed and unlike Twiggy. So I just wore a sleeveless summer beach dress or jeans and t shirt on the beach.
It helped from getting badly sunburnt too as we didn’t have 50 plus blockout then. In fact oil was used to enhance the sun baking more!
Chimeras gran and many other women in that time, may have been very fair skinned and as I seen in many fashion books most females liked to keep their hats, glasses and long sleeved outfits on during summer to protect their skin from burning.
In a way it’s sensible, like nowadays we have anti cancer council long sleeve tops and bathers to cover and protect our skin from getting skin cancer.
But we're talking a out enforcement over freedom of choice.
Oh I see. Dang I though it was about fashion of the ages
Yet fashion in Australia now is virtually free of moral and religious constraints and totally dictated by freedom of choice.
You CHOSE not to wear a bikini and that's fine but how would you have felt if wearing one was an offence?
We're becoming more permissive while Islam is becoming more constrained and strictly enforced.
Yes I know RE: suppression of fashion for women of Islam, and I truly feel they would love to be more fashionable and colourful.
It is noted how some are, in our country, more updated with colour and wearing headgear, at least with exposed faces.
Aside from some that have been allowed changes, however, there are still many not allowed that choice.
Now, my sons wife, Aussie born gal, long auburn hair, works as an international airline hostess between Dubai and LA.
She lived in Dubai for 2 years, and was courting a Arabic Muslim male.
All good and fine...... until they got engaged, then he dictated to her to change to their ways, religion and dress code, you know what she did?
She told him to get out!
So there it is, why go for a freely dressed liberated gal only to want to repress her?
Now I wonder, how many western women with insecurities get led and brainwashed this way being converted to Islam?
