Cheesecake Babes

Apparently stripes were all the rage in casual fashion in the 1940s, according to the start of this fashion video on YouTube. Later the ladies are shown wearing more fancy dresses in polka dots with large hats and snoods.

After watching this video, I can see why men were quite thrilled with pinups and cheesecake, it was so much more thrilling than the stripes, parasols, tunics and snoods of the season!

But then the evening wear is shown and I’m still not very titillated. I guess I wouldn’t have made a very proper lady in the 40s.
