About
While pin-up images celebrated satin, lace and curvy silhouettes, everyday underwear focused on comfort and support, with bras, girdles and slips creating a smooth shape beneath clothing. Wartime shortages encouraged simpler garments and home knitting, while working women preferred less restrictive underwear suited to active lifestyles. See 1940s Fashion Styles.
