This image would be very useful to show the cultural changes from the 1900’s to now. Kids would benefit from seeing the changes in dress, hair, etc. to compare and contrast! Who would have thought ladies wore dresses to the beach?
This image is a great representation of how clothing has changed over the ages. You could use this picture in a lesson in a history or fashion class to discuss how cultures and clothes(swimsuits in particular) have changed over time and the reason behind these changes.
