Hello all,
I have been a Titanic fan for many years, and had this question in my brain for a while and wondered if anyone could answer it.
Today on a cruise you can just put you bathing suit/bikini on and a towel and head to the pool. On Titanic and in 1912 society people didn't just walk around in swim wear even the body covering stuff people wore then.
Men had it easier where clothes were concerned but women's clothes took a lot of time and effort to put on.
Not to mention, I seem to remember that most fashionable women's clothes had to be put on with help from someone, like a ladies' maid.
How on earth did they do it? Did they wear something simple when they went down to the Turkish baths or the swimming bath?
Sorry for the really long post. I was just dying of curiosity.
