Lovely swimsuit invented in 1960th - monokini.

The first thing I see on the photos is FUN ladies had with this extravagant garment.

It is a staged photo though. |
Monokini was created by fashion designer Rudi Gernreich in 1960th. It was proclaimed immoral and tasteless, banned in the USA, and became a symbol of Western decay in Soviet Union. It found its way to Europe though, and despite everybody thought that monokini was nothing more than a fashion stunt, it was sold in surprisingly big quantities. About 3000 monokinis were sold in the summer they were introduced to public. Monokini cost 24 American dollars, which made a good profit to designer, for the insignificant amount of fabric.
The trick is... monokini was sold but was not put on. Very few monokinis have ever been worn in public. It was a fashion trick and it brought ladies much fun.
