Starlite: I'm glad you like the photos. Thank you for telling me. Yes, movie costumes in the early years could be pretty racy. Here's Greta Garbo in Mata Hari, 1931. Dewey

Wow! That's so crazy! Was it an accepted practice sort of like how today it doesn't raise too many eyebrows if an actor/actress goes partially or fully nude in a film that requires it, or did some of those actresses get push back from those types of outfits? Also, did men ever wear anything racy too?

If my questions are annoying feel free to ignore them or tell me to just look it up. I know I can do some of this research on my own if I were to google different things but on specific questions like that sometimes I prefer to just directly ask people who are already more educated on the matter than I am.
