Oh no.
Yeah yeah wrong war but that’s thematically consistent with the inconsistency
put a giant bow on your hair & wear red lisptick.
Have fun!
Have a ball.
Clothes were rationed from '41 to '49. A single skirt used 7 of your 24 coupons in '45. Fashion didn't really return until well into the fifties.
Movies may make it look glamorous but people were buying sensible clothes that would last.
The tiki/canteen vibe is a difficult choice in northern climes..oof.
many cute options!
