Sometimes it's nice to just take a snapshot of what women were wearing at one point in time. Here's an image-heavy look at the styles of 81 years ago, courtesy of one of McCall's monthly pattern pamphlets.
Coats, nipped in at the waist or flaring out, trimmed with fur cloth (not fur, as indicated in the header).
Suits, a 1940s standby. These have some decidedly military touches (in particular, the pockets!) which show which way people's thoughts were trending.
A slim-fitting coat and a suit which really is trimmed with fur (as opposed to "fur" cloth).
Smart shirt-waisters with panels and pleats—also pockets!
This is described as an "informal" evening gown, for satin or lame. The neckline, front and back, is comparatively modest.
Also for evening: a dress with "wide straps" and a "slightly full" skirt, baring more flesh at the shoulders and back.
Dinner dresses, at the left in velvet, at the right with bows.
