In World War 2, girls wore dresses made with a minimum of fabric. Skirts were short and straight. Blouses with Peter Pan collars were common. No girls ever wore a T shirt and the term "top" was not used.
When women started working in factories, they started wearing slacks for the first time. They were always called slacks, not pants or trousers. Jeans did not become popular until after the war. Nylon stockings were very scarce and girls used to draw a seam on the back of their legs to make it look like they were wearing nylons since all stockings had seams at that time. Pantyhose did not exist and stockings required a garter belt. In winter, girls wore long cotton stockings.
Girls wore a net around their long hair which was called a snood. They also wore scarves to cover their hair when they worked in factories. Two piece bathing suits were worn for the first time.
Everyone dressed up back then and women and girls wore hats and gloves. The ultimate luxury was a fur coat or an alligator purse. There were no animal rights activists back then and it was o.k. to wear fur or animal skins.
