- 1940s Style Details : Top Favorite Sourcebooks
The 1940s style is one of my absolute favorite styles to emulate. The details of each garment are so distinct and defined and to me the epitome of fashion.
In this video I share with you some of those style details from the 1940s and my favorite sourcebooks where you can learn how to put an authentically styled 1940s outfit together.

Loved this video ❤️ im from Finland and to me its mindblowing to see what was available in 1940s in other parts of the world. We had some rough war years, and after war, we paid years war reparations/indemnents to Soviet Union, so here there were shortage about almost everything and finnish fashion during that time was mostly how you can mend old uniforms to suitable clothes for women and kids or shoes made out of paper, yes those were common here and they were so pretty but did not last very long. This made things that like my mama who was born 1943, and was youngest of three, never ever in her later life would wear "ugly" or used clothes or shoes and was very picky about her clothes. Now she is in caring home because of alzheimer and dont even speak for herself anymore, so i make sure that nurses dress and comb her hair nicely every day ❤️
I love how French women used fashion as a form of resistance against the Nazi occupation of their country. My friend's grandmother was French & was a teen during the Nazi occupation of France. She had been a zazou (a swing dance, rebellious teen subculture during WWII) & loved fashion. She used to tell how Hitler tried to police everything about women's fashion & he especially disliked the large hats French women favored (Freud would have a field day with that) & outlawed them, policing the hats to be only of a small size. He forgot to mention turbans, & French women jumped all over this - crafting & wearing elaborate, gravity-defying turbans in protest (that were stuffed with scraps, newspaper & their own hair - if it was long). She also said that due to a lack of traditional shoe materials, their shoes had wooden soles. When she & her friends would walk past Germans soldiers. they would "stomp" so that their wooden soles would clatter & drown out "their ugly Nazi voices".
Fantastic video, great to see you posting content again! I was so impressed by the photos you included, and I really appreciate the fact that you included Black and Asian women from the era as well. You don’t always see that in discussions of vintage fashion.
Thank you, I’m so happy to be back at it. Women of color are an important part of our history and I find it sad that their role is diminished in discussions on vintage life and fashions. Its important that they be included in the story too. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for all this wonderful information. I love the dresses and hats of the 1940s As a German living in Germany I am collecting German fashion magazine from the 30s to the 60s. Amazingly they still exist They are also a great source for inspiration.
Yes, I have a few German fashion magazines and they are some of my favorites. I love the illustrations.
As a history major and fashion fan, I truly appreciate the historical influences on fashion, both in fabrication and style. Thank you for the informative and entertaining video!
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it. 🥰
Oh that pink flower waltz dress is devine
Oh wow, your wearing your Lane Bryant dress. Fabulous
GREAT RESEARCH!!! I appreciate you!! 😊
You are so welcome!
Aweeeee Christine you look so beautiful! Yes you deserved the time off to reset & rest. I love all your content videos! Much love to you! ❤️
Oh my God your look today!!!!😍
Facinating, thank you.
What an interesting video!!! Thank you so much, Christine! I watched with such pleasure! Throughout the video, I was in a state of delight, how professionally this video was made !!!! And I fell in love with the books that you recommended, such beautiful and high-quality illustrations 😍👍
I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Loved, loved this video! The '40s is my absolute favourite (and specifically 1938 fashion). I had trouble concentrating on what you were saying because of all that eye candy 🍬. And your dress is simply divine❤️ plus your hair looks gorgeous. Well done!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, the photo of the stylish African American woman in Detroit (at 7:38) is from my flickr page! It's a scan of a photo I picked up either at an estate sale or doing a house or storage locker cleanout! How cool to see it here in your video!
That's awesome! I found the photo on Pinterest, and I love that she's getting some fan fare. She was beautiful!
@@TheGlambassador Somewhere in the universe, I hope she knows that people are still seeing her photograph and admiring her beauty, grace, and style.
@@profkaren I hope so too ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video!
You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Adoro la moda degli anni 40 semplice ed elegante
i could watch videos like this all day. One of my favorite subjects is the post war push to regain the feminine ideal after women had gained an awareness of their abilities and life that included roles outside of the gender norms of that time.
This was perfect. I have the majority of the books you shared so will get them out, dust them LOL and read and play with ideas.
Amazing and informative video!
Glad you liked it!
Christine what a great and informative 1940's fashion video and for the links to great books too! As always much love to you! ❤️
You are so welcome!
I loved this video. It’s probably one of my favorites because I am impressed with your merging of the historical events and it’s impact on design and style in a seamless and well-produced video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video. Which are the best books to look at for creating outfits from 1940s Swedish women's fashion?
I love fashions from 1939/1940 so much! It was a really interesting and innovative period of fashion. I have a small collection of vintage Simplicity patterns from these years and the pieces made up from them are some of my favorites! I love the whole decade though and it’s the one I come back to the most.
This is sooo helpful! I now NEEDuh alllll of those books!
Thank you for this amazing & informative video!! Love it!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing your 1940’s style details lovely!
I love the aesthetic of the forties …. I actually have ‘Forties Fashion’ such a wonderful source book & inspo!

It's such a great book isn't it?
@@TheGlambassador Oh yes indeed sweetheart… A super purchase ❤️
Ok, great use of your break. This content is really interesting and helpful! Thank you for sharing this!
The lane Bryant catalogues inclusion is really appreciated too.
I find it difficult, living in the rainy Pacific Northwest, to identify how I can incorporate “vintage looks”into my daily fashions. Even office work, 2 days a week, is even more casual since Covid. Thoughts? How do you create a style that does not look like cos play? (Especially Hat accessories which I adore, but hats really aren’t done here..think hoodies instead. )
I'm glad you liked it. I'm working on another video that I think will address those questions. So keep an eye out for it.
I’m excited for the new video about this! I know Christine did a video about casual vintage style a year or so ago. The Closet Historian has a few videos on vintage at work/not looking like cosplay. I know With Love, Kristina is based in the PNW and might also have some inspo for you, too!
I wear a pair of high waisted pants and button up blouse to work every day. With vintage hair and makeup, it gives a very casual 1940s look.
Gostaria muito de ter esses catálogos dos vestidos anos 40😍
You look like patsy cline💙
The clothes that these sourcebooks demonstrate are relatively good but they do not compare with the European clothes. They are of lower quality materials and they have less workmanship. They are not elegant, they are only useful.
The majority of the sourcebooks I mentioned are in fact featuring European and British fashions, so forgive me if your opinion on that doesn't hold much weight.
As far as garments being "only useful", well yes, Utility clothing was the norm as there was a war going on and rationing (parts of Europe had rationing too you realize) guided the fashions of the day. But maybe you didn't actually watch the video to learn this information. I suggest you watch it so maybe you won't make another ignorant comment.
