Bikini Photo 1947

Put on your polka dot bikini, go up on top of the garage and have a sunbath? Get started on that tan before your trip to Jamaica. It’s a lovely 3 degrees, darling!

This is the first photo of a bikini to appear in a U.S. magazine, Harper’s Bazaar,  in 1947 (!). Photo by Toni Frissell.
