-Double breasted jackets were prohibited

My book and historical significance

What I saw and how I lied

1940-Now

Fashion changed the most from 1929-1939

1929-1935

-Shoulders started small and rounded

-Shoulders became straight and pointed(shoulder pads).

-Waists were not defined by belts

-Clothes gave women a boyish look

-Fabrics were generically made and produced at a much slower pace than military suits.

In my book fashion is a huge part of growing up for the Main Character.

Because of the difference in available materials after the war, the class of the clothing also changed.

Men's fashion didn't change much, but the Pants they wore became fuller and the waist bands were brought higher.

-This is due to the fact that most men were in war at the time.

Wool sweaters were worn during the duration of the war, but they cost a lot of rationing coupons.

Once the war was over more types of fabrics were made widely available.

-more lavish dresses were created, and people could spend more to make them.

-silk -Lace

-suede -leather(later)

-satin -and some synthetic fabrics

Fashions have come a long way, when it comes to new trending styles, but we still pick out aspects from the 1940's such as in wedding dress designs, and formal wear.
