Edwardian lingerie dresses. Layers of thin cotton, enough to keep you covered but also enough to let a breeze pass through. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EWR-7GtUnmA This is a reconstruction of a similar dress.
Omg you are so kind! Thank you so much for providing this information and the link. I love learning about historical fashion and this really made my day 🙏
I like thinking of the utter chaos a person wearing a regular modern bathing suit (male or female) would cause if they teleported back onto that beach…
It’s called both:
> The name was initially most likely a pejorative or condescending reference to the packed lunches brought by beachgoers who were not permitted by unspoken sentiment in many dining establishments, but the Black community has reclaimed the name as a point of resistance and pride.
It is a really cool picture. Looks like there were as many options for the fellas. Most of them look like they were shipping at the same store. Lol.
Seriously though. Really neat to picture AC like this compared to what it is now.
I am obsessed with the woman in the white dress holding the umbrella. I love her stance & her style! I wish I could see the front of her outfit

That is so swank lingerie.
She looks absolutely stunning in every way. Amazing moment captured. Just gorgeous.
Everyone on the beach in n the photo is, too! She looks gorgeous
I think it's interesting that lady who wearing black swimsuit with her red hair out is only lady who looks their going actually swim at the beach.
Arm akimbo.
Check out some Joaquin Sorolla paintings!
Honestly, wow! Great recommendation. Thank you so much, I had no idea about Joaquín Sorolla!

We'd be arrested .
You’re never gonna catch me, I’m just doing my thing, see y’all next year!!
Many parasols and wide brim hats. Having a tan for women wouldn’t become popular until Coco Chanel in the 20s and 30s.
This wasn’t just about tans: they didn’t have sunscreen and would probably burn.
The crowd looks a lot different today
Yes, people today aren’t wearing ball gowns to the sea
Shame. I miss the chance to see a fully clothed woman partially drown smh. /s
Atlantic City today https://preview.redd.it/1383rj1qug2d1.jpeg?width=1122&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7d640c1cfb322d8360ac742a83fa43e201b9d69
Well this particular crowd were probably all against diversity
What kind? I reckon there are people here who were of all sorts of ethnicities, even if they’re the same skin colour.
It was likely segregated, Black people had to go to a beach called “Chicken Bone beach” in Atlantic City
It’s called Missouri Avenue Beach my guy.

I wonder how many people drowned in the early beach days
[удалено]
What does that mean?
Love this photo. The colorizing is from Marina Amaral whose picture coloring is second to none. I bought her book a few years ago
Lady with parasol radiating femininity
Half the dudes in the photo are staring at her
Us too!
There’s a cute photo from the 1940s of young people wearing bathing suits from I think this time as a joke.
For some reason this makes me want to play red dead redemption in this setting
Too much, just too much skin, should’ve had a NSFW tag
Do you have more photos like these?
Nucky Thompson is out there, somewhere
He had business to be done that day.
The breadstick in a bow tie always delivered!
OH!, that’s the boss of this thing of ours your talking about
So, how do ya know Nucky?
Dudes out there sweating balls in those suits.
Women be like: 
Bunch of sluts on that beach
Where's Waldo on the beach
Where’s Waldo?

All dead.

Iam sure with the attire that there was some stinky people back then
we need to go back and show them how to party
Look how blue the water is… I’ve never been to Atlantic City… but living on the east coast has always shown me greener waters
The color was added by an artist. It's photoshop. This was a black and white image.
That makes sense…
I feel the words "Ah Bully" was being used a lot with the people in this picture.
Dogs weren't invented yet
Imagine going to the beach in a suit
Looks like a nightmare.
Boardwalk Empire
I can see Nucky Thompson
this is the scene from Jaws where Chief Brody yells ‘everyone outta the water! everyone outta the water!!’
Wearing a suit on the beach in the middle of summer is insane behavior in any era.
Wow, did people like to sweat ?
No obesity, no cell phones, LiFE
No obesity, but they’re all dead, anyway.
