1940s Fashion & Style Tutorial - How to dress 40s style1940s Fashion OverviewWhen we think of 1940s fashion, we probably think of the glamour of the 40s Pin Up and the practical styles of the wartime Land Troops Girls. We think of ultra feminine 1940s tea dance dresses in floral prints, wedge shoes and brogues. But it was also an era when designers, stretched to their innovative limits by austerity rules, made easy but attractive draping techniques and introduced peplums onto dresses and shoulder pads to the most easy styles thus creating the fabulous Movie Noir styles we admire today.1940s clothing gives us a excellent example of how much fashion is influenced by politics, culture and social ‘situation’. This decade saw much change and what we now nostalgically view as the classic 40s look was actually represented by only a few years in this decade since Dior’s fresh look was launched in 1947.The 1940s SilhouetteInitially, the wartime silhouette (1930 to '45) was angular and harsher than the willowy, curvy 30s. Slender, yet mannish with padded shoulders. There are definate differences between the UK fashions and those of the (more more glamourous) US - influenced, of course, by restrictions on materials...A bit of HistoryFashion essentially ‘paused’ during the fight. A lot of of the couture houses in Paris who were the globe leaders in fashion at the time were closed down or ceased trading during the occupation. The fabric mills turned their attention to production for the fight effort and dress fabric was restricted through austerity guidelines.They say that during time of difficulty, the most innovative solutions are found – and this is certainly the case during the 40s. Fresh fabrics were made (some not so awesome) because traditional fabrics should not be produced as easily and the austerity rules enforced during the fight resulted in some of the most creative pattern cutting ever seen in fashion. The guidelines of 1941 covered how much fabric should be used, trimmings, hem length, pleats, gathers and even how a lot of buttons should be used. This resulted in the production of the aptly named ‘utility clothing‘ labelled with the CC41 logo – the fashion industry was unofficially nationalised. Somewhat ironically, original vintage garments with this label can command high prices in the shop nowadays!Made do and Mend!Initially, the general public were less than fond of utility clothing and in 1942, designers were brought in to improve the utility styles and to simplify the manufacturing process. The more elegant 40s styles we know and love today were born. Innovative pattern cutting to use fabric to its greatest advantage included draping, peplums, gores, the use of shoulder pads and easy but intricate gathers at the bust line and shoulders. The silhouette became square or box like, the waist a tiny higher and the emphasis moved to the shoulders and head.Ralated Keyword "1940s Style Dresses":1940s dress styles1940s style wedding dresses1940s style dresses ukhow to dress in 1940s style1940s wedding dress styles1940s style childrens dressesdress up 1940s stylehow to dress 1940s style
