1930-40's ♥

fashion from 1930-40:
                    

                1930s Long, Slim Look
In the 1930s, the straight, up and down style was belted again, and lengthened. It began to hug the body. Dresses were cut on the bias so that they fitted to and moved with the body. These designs required very lightweight fabrics such as satins and silks.
Sport dressing became even more popular in the Thirties. Patterned with contrasting yellow and green areas, the suit has a felt jacket and huge straw hat to match, with huge modern flowers in felt trimming both jacket and hat. These modern motifs in bright colours.
                       
Evening dresses were long, wide-skirted, narrow-waisted and colourful made of chiffon and other lightweight materials. The gowns were cut to give a streamlined effect.
Also in the 1930's it was more acceptable for women to wear trousers.
Despite the Stock Market Crash of 1929, people where still buying clothing and by the end on the 1930's most shops around the world had nearly doubled in sales.
