The puffed or padded shoulders and the skirts helped to give a fuller looking shape to accentuate the dainty belted waist.
The wartime and post-war period saw rations on fabrics meaning that the calf-length dresses of the s now came just below the knee. One of the most popular styles in the s was the tea dress, a style that has had many modern make overs and is still loved today.
This style was appropriate for the daytime, whereas sexy pin-up styles and longer dresses were reserved for evening dress. Shoulder pads had just been invented, meaning that most dresses of the s had this boxy shape and shoulder angle. Others were puffed up with folds and gathers in the material. This use of shoulder pads and puffed shoulders created a militant and masculine look in the dresses. The demure styles showed no cleavage but there was still a lot of choice in necklines with button-down V necks being very popular, a style that is much-loved by vintage dressers today.
In the early s the rations on fabric meant that dresses were often made in simple colors and fabrics; however, once the ration had lifted, colorful fabrics were embraced. Women wore dresses with prints and contrasting trims. One area of fashion that had been very overlooked before the s was plus size fashion.
This came to an end in the s with dresses and other clothing designed especially to flatter the fuller figure.
