I’ve been incredibly infatuated with 1940s fashion since seeing the film 'A league of their own' and 'Pearl Harbour'. I love the glamour, the tailored outfits, cute heels, red lipstick and perfect locks.
The Fashion trends from the 1930s to the end of 1945 were mainly tailoring with attention to detail at the shoulder, with butterfly sleeves and banjo sleeves, and exaggerated shoulder pads for both men and women. The period also saw the first widespread use of man-made fibres, especially Rayon for dresses and viscose for linings and lingerie, and synthetic nylon stockings. These trends started off in the U.S.A and were brought over to Britain and Europe through trendsetters such as Edward VIII's companion Wallis Simpson and such Hollywood movie stars as Fred Astaire, Carole Lombard and Joan Crawford.
