With the second World War (WWII) and clothing rationing, wartime fashion on a budget became the norm. 1940s fashion experienced deep changes, but also created some of the most flattering designs of the 20th century. The classic shirtwaist dress, wide-leg pants, bikini swimsuits, and pin up styles took root in the forties.
