No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1910s Women's fashion: 

For women the war meant rather large changes in fashion. Just like with men color preferences became darker and deeper, more jewel tones than pastels. But the bigger change came to the hemline, which started to creep up, and materials, which became more varied. The major reason for both was the war. With war going on some material was in short supply and new materials needed to be used. With more women working in the industry and less women working as house hold maids, both rich and poor needed more practical clothing. Things you could work in, move in and dress yourself in. 

Working class women: 

Just like with men there were few changes to working women's clothing. It was simply not something you could affort. However, I still wanted to represent the shorter hemline with the one skirt we have in game that has some semblance of the ever important apron (in the only other the apron is torn to pieces). 

Middle class and upper class fashion:

For middle class and upper class women the changes are bigger. In the outfits below you can notice the shorter hemline. The first outfits is probably the one that most closely reflects this, just above the ankle but not too much over it. I've also chosen a darker tone in the dress (although one of the lighter would work well for summer outfits) and coupled it with a hat with lots of flowers. The second outfit would be more suitable for the secretary or shop girl. A simple blouse (far too formfitting for the time but we make do with what we have) and a simple a-line skirt. The third is a good length and fits with the little loser top. I choose the deep green as it was a very popular color at the time. The last could be a woman going off to drive her new automobil or just inspired by the male fashion of the time with some military influences. 

For summer obviously colors were lighter. Here I used a white blouse and light green skirt for outfit one, and the white "dress" from the 1890s for outfit two. In truth it's better here than there. The three outfits for winter again has these darker colors. The second is a version of the one ashubii so expertly put together, but in darker colors and the last one draws on the slender long lines of the time. Both represent the knitwear of the time. 

I've made no new outfits for the formal/party wear, but for the remaining outfits we do see some changes in fashion. The first outfit is inspired by the tennis outfits of the time and so a sports outfit. The second also athlete's outfit, is a homage to the early women explorers who did not hesitate to wear a pair of bloomers to make ti easier to move about (they're really too narrow for bloomers, but the best we have in game).

In sleepwear the pyjamas started to become an option to the nightgown, and although most were striped, the pastel blue here will be good enough to represent the early shapes of the pjs.

For swimwear swimsuits started to show arms (at least after the war so 1918-1919), so this is a way to represent that and finally an attempt at a nurses outfit as many women actually went off to war in the way they could, by helping the wounded.
