1943 Spring and Summer Wardrobe - McCalls Magazine

<B>We have two pages from McCall's Magazine from April, 1943. Don't miss the hairdos, the gloves, and the hats. Oh, those hats! <p><p><p> One illustration is signed by Blanch Rothschild, who I could only find listed as an <a href="http://clara.nmwa.org/index.php?keywords=Blanch+Rothschild">American Artist - 1893-1988</a>.<p></B> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril1943-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril1943-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril1943.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril1943.jpg" width="400"></a><br>This is a Spring Wardrobe. <br>The first set include the aqua dress, that is "especially for those who say, 'I can't wear shirtfrocks, they are too severe'. You can wear this one." The dotted crepe, "worn with town accessories, it looks like a soft suit." The Navy with "lingerie touches" has a "swing-over neckline."<p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCalls1943April.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCalls1943April.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril43.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/McCallsApril43.jpg" width="400"></a><br>To Keep for Summer<br> There are plenty of details to enjoy here, but I have to admit I think the gray with the contrast bodice does it for me. But maybe I'm influenced by her cute little hat. They do say that it is "a wonderful idea for getting one new dress out of two old ones". Remember this was wartime. The red dress "uses the border edge at the hemline only, which is smart of it.". The blue dress uses eyelet and it is "A good shoulder-broadening style. Use a piece of leftover material, printed or striped, can be used up smartly for yokes and sleeves, as in the white dress".<br>
