1930's- The Depression Era.

The depression era made a change in fashion.
Clothes were made to last for a long time and so they would stay in style they were made to be seen as a 'classic'.

In all families 'hand me downs' became very fashionable.

Babies born in this era were made layettes which were sewn from sugar sacks.

The hemlines which women wore in the 1930's went down and down even more, making a drastic change from the recent flapper girl style.

Many dresses made for women were now being cut on the bias.

Sportswear were also changed, the pants for the women were also changed, the hems became flared and they were known as 'beach pyjamas'.
