\u201cHard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, some don\u2019t turn up at all.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n by Sam Ewing<\/p>\n The 30s was the beginning of the ready to wear fashion age. During the 1930s there was a great depression, companies started researching and implementing cheaper ways of clothing manufacturing. The clothing style was less extravagant, but the shapes of these dresses were designed to show off a woman most feminine features. Most of the dresses were either slightly gathered or pleated. The ideal 30s woman was tall and slender with a very small waist and narrow hips, Since most women were not blessed with slim hips and a small waist, shoulders were exaggerated with puff sleeves. Ready to wear became popular because clothing could be mass-produced. During this era the zipper became a standard in the finishing of garments because they cost less than buttons.<\/p>\n A woman would not wear her house dress out of the house, to shop, run errands. She would need a smart afternoon or day dress. They were considered a good steward of the husband\u2019s money.<\/p>\n Deets
\nBeing on a tight budget was no excuse for sloppy fashion. It was considered a woman\u2019s duty to shop smart.
\nWomen who could feed and dress her family on a dime were praised.<\/p>\n
