A comprehensive analysis of Second World War dress practice and
appearance, this study places dress at the forefront of a complex
series of cultural chain reactions. As lives were changed by the
conditions of war, dress continued to reflect important visual
narratives regarding class, gender and taste that would impact
significantly on public consciousness of equality, fairness and
morale. Using new archival and primary source evidence, Wartime
Fashion clarifies how and why clothing was rationed, and
repositions style and design during the war in relation to past
expectations and ideas about clothes and fabrics. The book explores
the impact of war on the dress and appearance of civilian women of
all classes in the context of changing social and economic
infrastructures created by the national emergency. The varied
research elements combined in this book form a rounded and
definitive account of the dress history of British women during the
Second World War. This is essential reading for anyone with an
active interest in the field, whether personal or professional.
