Best Places To Buy Swimsuits In Baltimore

The swimsuit is a relatively modern article of clothing. The modern day swimsuit was introduced in the mid-20th century. The one-piece swimsuit has evolved from a heavy, head-to-tow covering piece of clothing to the sleeker, lighter fabric one-piece swimsuit of today.
