"The fashion world took quite a hammering this season. It looked for a while as though we were doomed to appear with skimpy, drooping shoulders; skimpy, no-stride skirts, and all kinds of uncompromising lines.... But, as usual, designers propose and customers dispose, in the good old democratic way, so today we have a 1941 silhouette that makes sense."

"Long jacket, low set-in belt, wide lapels all point the way to a new trend in suits this autumn.
Two-piece suit from Davidow." |

"Kimono sleeves and slim skirt stamp this fitted topcoat and classic wool dress
as new 1941. Ensemble designed by Charles Armour." |
Sophisticated 1940s daywear looks like this always set my heart aflutter and make me yearn desperately for a time machine so that I could go back and stock up on scads of them to see me through the nippy Canadian fall and winter that lies ahead.
