This is a windy and very wet morning. Nothing much to blog about ( laundry and housework are not terribly interesting). How about something different?
What were women wearing in the 1940's? Dresses had padded shoulders and nipped in waists, A-line skirts came down to the knee.
If a woman was not naturally an hourglass shape, the clothes were
designed to help her achieve the look. Being put together, cheerful, and
practical was the job of women during WWII. 1940s fashion accessories
such as hats, gloves, handbags, and jewelry completed an outfit. Here are some images from the 'net.
. Do you wish we'd go back to wearing dresses all the time?
Thanks for visiting
Re: your comment on my blog.I got the grapevine heart, not I can finish up my Crinoline lady. There are many components to the little cottage, I like to think of the appliques as crochet coloring. They bring the background alive. I hope I finish it, I made the door today. As for the fashions I just love them. I try to wear dresses & skirts, they are my preference. The ladies of those times always looked lovely and feminine. I can't get passed the pantyhose/nylon thing though, UGH! not a fan!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to me how overdressed women looked back then. I'm so glad I don't have to wear heels anymore. I like dresses now and then, but practically live in jeans so, no I don't wish to go back to dresses.
ReplyDeleteNo thank you, no dreses for me anymore.
ReplyDeleteLaundry and housework here too. The rain has now let up but it's still breezy.
I like wearing dresses in the Summer. I remember my mother is just those types of dress!
ReplyDeleteLadies were definitely more "put together" in the 40s. I wouldn't mind wearing dresses all the time, if I were in better shape.
ReplyDeleteGranny, this is Fran. I like to wear a dress, but mostly wear pants. I am so frequently working outside in the yard and pants seem to work better out there!
ReplyDeleteShifferdiane, here on IG wears a lot of vintage clothing, if you want to take a look at her account. 😁
