Vintage 1930

As the public began to feel the effect of the Great Depression fashions started moving away from the brash and daring styles of the 1920’s, towards a more romantic, feminine silhouette. The waist reclaimed its’ proper position, hemlines dropped, and an appreciation of the bust was apparent. The most significant fashion trend of the 1930’s is the use of synthetic fibers especially in lingerie, and nylon stockings and the ease of using zippers as a closure in clothing. Due to the influence of big band, woman’s dresses were designed with lovely details on the back which were noticeable when dancing.  Many dresses were designed on the bias, which fit a trim lady beautifully.
By the end of the decade, woman’s fashions had more emphasis with the shouldered silhouette and the day dress with fur collars and accessories.
