Summary
NoS Summary - Reville beachwear and boudoir suit modelled in the studio.
British Pathe synopsis: A "Reville" crepe-de-chine beachwear outfit is modelled in a studio setting. The model takes off her loose jacket to reveal shorts held up with braces. She turns to face the camera. She wears a headscarf and shirt with a geometric pattern. The second outfit modelled is a beach suit made from ivory satin with multicoloured scarves. Woman walks towards the camera - the suit looks rather like silk pyjamas, one scarf is tied around the neck, the other around the hips. The model carries a large hat. Next is a "boudoir suit" with a Mexican influence. The crêpe de chine "coatee" looks gorgeous, the model turns to display her outfit. Camera tilts down to her feet.
