I just wanted to share with you a fabulous book I have recently added to my reference library. I feel really lucky that the university where I work has a College of Fine Arts and, therefore, our bookstore has a very good selection of books about fashion.
This 208-page softcover book is entitled, Forties Fashion From Siren Suits to the New Look, and it's published by Thames & Hudson. (ISBN number is 978-0-500-28897-9). It has 250 illustrations, 196 of which are in glorious color. It's just chock full of the history of clothing during and after the war years, some of which I had never read anywhere before.
So, if you're a Forties kind of gal, treat yourself to this one! It's an excellent source of images and information.
The front cover shows a group of French women in 1945 who were sporting dyed hair for the first time since the War began.
