Odd jobs from long ago that don't and can't possibly exist today, mostly because I don't think they have rulers that go into negative numbers and everyone is ready to sue.
Back the 1920's this was actually a thing. If your bathing suit was a bit too short, you were arrested. Naturally people had ways to make it appear longer. Such as bending the leg or tugging down on it.
The editing: I removed people in the background that added clutter and didn't enhance the story. While the boy in the middle does add a little, he's more distracting then anything else. The bathing suits back then were sort of earthy, dark tones, not a lot of bright colors. There were stripes on this suit, so I popped it with yellow.
