A focus on... the 1940s

Despite the hardships of WWII, fashion in the 1940s was creative and innovative. 'Make do and Mend' was a pamphlet full of useful tips issued by the British Ministry of Information in the midst of WWII, it encouraged housewives to be both frugal and stylish in times of harsh rationing.

Make do and Mend pamphlet

The rationing of the 1940s enforced an era of required minimalism. The shortage of fabric created the popularity of the two piece suit known as a Victory or Utility suit, which took on a sleek, military look. Women could mix and match skirts, blouses and jackets for a new outfit everyday. Even after the war the suits remained popular due to its comfort and practicality.

The Victory suit

During the war years, hats still remained very fanciful and continued to play an important role in women's fashion. It may have been even more important than usual, as many of the materials that went into the making of hats were not rationed, although it was commonplace to add a corsage made of fresh flowers or feathers to snazz it up. Many women also owned corsages made of artificial flowers or gathered netting to accessorise a dress. 

Precious gemstones and diamonds became difficult to source, the 1940s saw a revival of gold jewellery and experimentation with a wider range of gemstones such as citrine. During this period costume jewellery still mimicked fine jewellery. 

If the 1940s is your favourite decade for fashion, make sure you plan a trip to Vintage Modes, here's a selection of what you might find:
