Happy Birthday Bikini

Claudette Colbert, 1941

Note no belly button showing


With a supposed birth date of July 5, 1946, credit for the bikini goes to both Louise Reard (above) and Jacques Heim (below)

Yet who designed Ava Gardner's suit in 1941?


Of course, the bikini has been around a lot longer than seventy years...

Marilyn Monroe, circa 1946

Brigitte Bardot, 1953

    You look at the original and it was cut pretty high.

    All it did was show a little side thigh.
