1940s hats had both a continuation of the popular styles of the 1930s and new additions to the casual headwear in the form of the beret, turban, headscarf, and snood. Women's hats in the 1940s were a diverse collection of styles largely pulled from different times in history. To list them all would be one
This is a diary for making hat B from Vintage Vogue V7464. I hope it can be useful for someone trying to make it, because sewing it was probably the most frustrating project I have ever had. Read my review of the pattern here. Now when I know all the steps, the hat isn't so hard to sew- I just wish…
The term 'teenager' was coined in 1941, and Seventeen magazine printed its first issue in 1944, showing off young teenager-targeted clothing and interests. It was a new market, one that was somewhere between girls and college-age young women. Teenagers were obsessed with crooner Frank Sinatra, hung out at soda fountains, and danced all night to

Even though I can smell Spring in the air, the cold sea winds in the little Coastal Town in which I live are still bitter so something to keep head and especially ears warm will be a necessity for a while yet. I've been obsessed with 1930's and 1940's ski wear forever, and after making a little bonnet for a dear friend this past Christmas, I thought why not get the pattern out there for vintage inspired seamstresses to enjoy too?!Along with photographs of starlets and illustrations in my vintage

What I have discovered from collecting catalogs so far is that I really, really, do love 1940's fashion, and in particular this first catalog of mine from 1943 has turned out to be a real favorite. 1943 was a good year for clothes and accessories even while the world was in the thick of WWII! Now for course it is good to remember these pages are from Wards, where regular people shopped, so these images may not represent the avant garde or ultra "fashionable" looks of the time necessarily. I'm not sure how the relationship between department stores and high fashion functioned in the 1940's, but now in 2017 for example I would consider the stock at Macy's to be much more conservative/mundane on average than the looks on Paris runways or in Vogue. In many ways that's what makes old catalogs like this such an amazing resource to have in addition to the more glamorous surviving materials like Hollywood films of the time, because these catalog show us what was available to a more average consumer. This also highlights how truly flamboyant some fashions of the 40's were if these majestic hats here in Wards were not fantastical catwalk creations, but stuff your mom would wear. How fabulous these hats are, it is just too much not to be able to buy them today! Why did hats go out of fashion!!! More than ever I encourage you to view these images as big as possible and soak in the details. The text describes the many colors each hat may have been available in, and I challenge you to not think to yourself "yes, yes, one of each please!" Let these images be inspiration to any of you milliners out there, we need more hats like these again. Feel free as always to pin, save, and share! I hope some of you out there enjoy these resources as much as I do <3 There's still a few more posts worth of images from the 1943 catalog, and then we will be jumping into a new catalog (or two, or three catalogs!) next year!
Ladies 1940s hats came in many shapes, styles, and colors. Some of the most common hat styles were the turban, the beret, military caps, sun hats, hair snoods, and fascinators with net veils. The late '40s made the women's fedora hat trendy. Read about the history of 1940s hat styles here. Many 1940s style hats can

As soon as I watched the 1942 British Pathe video demonstrating how to turn a men’s trilby into a smart topper I wanted to make my own version. I started with a fedora I found in a charity shop, and followed the basic steps from the video, with a few minor amendments.
