How about a pack with 1940s elements? House designs, cocktail bars not to mention all those lovely silk gowns for women.
Silk? In the 1940's? I think you have your decades confused. Silk was more common in the 1920's and 30's, by the 40's silk was expensive and rare, and usually replaced by 'art silk' aka
artificial silk, aka synthetic silk.
Though, parachute silk was popular for underwear and wedding gowns.
1940's fashion was about minimal use of fabric, while still looking stylish.

Make do and mend was the motto, with many garments being made by upcycling other garments. Old mens suits were often re-cut, and re-tailored into womens skirt suits.
