Fashion Silhouettes 1948 - Timeline DrawingsFor this webpage I have drawn a variety of late 1940's shapes capturing the elements of silhouettes found in old magazines such as Le Petit Echo de la Mode, Butterick and McCall's pattern books of the day. Costume drawings, magazine covers and fashion plates of 1948 all equally act as a source of inspiration for making your own drawings. I have redrawn them in my own style then finally enhanced elements with computer software. These silhouette costume drawings show just some of the body shape outlines found in 1948 creating costume history detail which also makes them very useful when dating the line of vintage dress. Like many costume enthusiasts, I sometimes need a basic costume history line image for a specific year. These late 1940's fashion illustrations should give you a clear understanding of the changing lines and variety of silhouettes. As a result you can date a picture within a few years. Each thumbnail enlarges to produce an A4 print and is suitable for colouring in and producing timeline scenes, collage foundation guides or guidelines for amateur dramatics. You may use these 1948 fashion history silhouettes below in personal school or college class projects, but they must not be reproduced in printed book form matter, as greetings cards, gift wrap etc., or as part of any electronic material such as a CD, DVD, TV show, videos, YouTube item, ebooks, websites or similar. You are reading an original 1948 fashion silhouette page drawn by Pauline Weston Thomas for www.fashion-era.com 2009 ©. My original detailed text information on the 1940s can be found in the main section in Utility Clothing and there are many more late 1940s images including the 1948 fashion plates. 1948 Fashion Silhouettes
