What were postwar fashions like? As you can see from the picture below, in the short term very little changed for the average woman. Perhaps they were allowed an embellishment or two (like the peplum worn by the figure on the left) but rationing was still in force in most countries, and economy was still the order of the day.
So what were the emerging fashion trends of 1946? Oddly, for this date, there was very little information in the July issue of the
Australian Home Journal as the magazine's fashion correspondent appears to have gone missing in action. Fortunately for us, there were lots of interesting snippits of information in other publications.
