Summary

Pathe synopsis: To view the latest styles in beachwear we visit a factory where mannequin parades are staged for the benefit of the people who actually make them. Among the styles on show is a double ensemble of beach jacket and costume aptly named Date Line and Date Mate, and a topical creation called Monaco Stripes. The designs are more colourful than ever and the difficulty is going to be to actually persuade the girls to swim in these lovely outfits.
