Reflecting the trends of wartime, with an emphasis on the
ever-changing roles of women in society, this book illustrates the
movement towards more masculine styles and patriotic fashions and
colors, while still representing the tailored and restrictive
styles that had once dominated the lady's closet. Government
rationing and limitations on everyday fabrics and textiles resulted
in fashionable new creations. This book, drawn from the pages of
the Sears-Roebuck catalogs, has over 400 images with thousands of
items of clothing pictured. It gives the reader an insightful look
at the fashions perspectives of the mid-1940s.
