Fashion Silhouettes 1944 - Timeline Drawings
For this webpage I have drawn a variety of 1944 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 1944 all equally act as a source of inspiration for making your own
drawings. I have redrawn the fashion plates in my own style then finally enhanced elements with computer software.
These silhouette
costume drawings
show just some of the body shape outlines for 1944
giving 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 1940's fashion
illustrations should give you a clear understanding of the changing lines and
variety of silhouettes. As a result you'll soon find 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
1944 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., nor used as part of any electronic material such as a
CD, DVD, TV show, videos, YouTube topic/video, ebooks, websites or similar.

By the mid 1940s styles were quite streamlined in line with rationing of
clothing.
My original detailed text information on the 1940s can be
found in the main section in Utility Clothing
and there are many more 1940s images including the
1940s fashion plates.
