Where I lived at the time these hit the scene, they were called topless bathing suits.

By the way, the model here was the designer's wife.

Life had this thing for "cultural figure studies." I remember when they did a lot about Japan during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. I remember the picture they did of a young girl in the tradtional bath.

I'm surprised they would have allowed this in Life Mag back then!
