The 40's

Wartime Style

During the war money was limited to rations so clothes had to be designed very carefully so they wouldn't waste any fabric e.g. jackets couldn't have any more than four buttons.
 


















Narrow skirts with a small slit in the back for movement were usually worn with the jackets.

 
 


Wedge heels and stilettos were the shoes of choice especially with evening dresses.


 


Bolero Jackets were usually worn with strapless evening dresses and emphasized the waist .
