Description: | The introduction of new synthetic fabrics in the 1960's allowed swimwear to take a more natural shape. This coral pink swimsuit is made out of the synthetic fabric nylon. Nylon was revolutionary for swimwear because, unlike the cotton jersey fabrics used for swimwear in the past, it is quick drying. Nylon can also hold colour very well allowing costumes to be made in very bright colours. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East sport leisure people women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
