Bay Waders women in the water Traverse Bay 1900's
 The legend of
The Bay Waders

Cooling your feet on a hot day has always been in style, as the Bay Waders demonstrated in the 1890’s. This was a bit of a daring act back in the day when women wore many layers of clothing to be properly covered.

Here a few friends decided to take some action to cool off along the Grand Traverse Bay. The bay earned its name from 18th century French voyagers who made la grande traverse or “the long crossing” across the mouth of the Grand Traverse Bay.

Most fashion magazines suggested an open collar design for suits, but for actual practical use many women preferred to wear a shield and a ribbon around the throat or a high neck on her swimsuit.

If not, when the wearer donned an evening gown it would be quite apparent that she had worn a low collar at the beach. The neck would be tanned in a distinct point outlining the pattern of her swimwear. A solution to disguise the tanning line was to wear a band of black velvet or a jeweled collar with her gown.
