Just in time for summer: wartime swim suits made from silk escape maps. Genius!

We best be careful let the PC Brigade descend on us to administer a slapped wrist ;)
sadly this club is devoid of the female species so if one should report me to Human Resources I would be a bit suspect of their intentions! :D Do we even have an HR department? A ladies room? if so where can I find it?! :p

Heh, modern "evasion charts" are made on a Tyvek substrata. At least the US ones are. Probably wouldn't have quite the same effect!

I assume the photo would have been taken post-WWII, when these maps were surplus?

The Bathing Suit Topographic Map® is a detailed and accurate two-dimensional representation of natural and human-made features on the wearer's surface. These maps are used for a number of applications such as taking her camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming, rolling in the hay to urban planning, resource management, and surveying... a lot of surveying. :p
