No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1940-1949 Original post by ashubii

So, the ’40s are my absolute favorite period for fashion. I don’t know why. I fell in love with it as a teenager and there was a period where all I wanted was to dress like this. I think it had something to do with this super cute Youtuber I’d watch who dressed in 1940’s dresses. Anyway, the point is I love it and it was very hard for me to put together outfits that suited the decade without CC. I’d almost say it was painful! I did my best.

For the Everyday outfit, this dress made me think of what a 1940’s housewife would likely wear at home or maybe even just to go to the grocery store or something. Long dresses with slight cleavage, sometimes with thin straps, seem to have been a popular Formal look. For Athletic, once again we have white. Most of the feminine athletic gear I’ve found for these decades has been white and centered around tennis looks. I guess tennis was the most popular sport for women? For the ’40s, I see a lot of outfits like this, some with shorts, others with skirts, and some with what looks like both. I went with a skort for this one.

There were quite a few different swimwear options that I discovered for this decade, but I saw plenty that looked like short little dresses like this and I think they were my favorite! For the Hot Weather, I decided to go with some fisherman overalls because they looked pretty close to a Land Girl sort of outfit!
