The 40's were some difficult years: civil wars, The Second World War... There weren't a lot of resources and in these bad years all the world had to tighten their belts ( including women ). Women had started to work to bring some money to their hungry families as their husbands had gone to the war.
Los años 40 fueron unos años dificiles: guerras civiles, la Segunda Guerra Mundial... No había muchos recursos y en estos "años malos " el mundo entero tuvo que apretarse el cinturón. Las mujeres habían comenzado a trabajar para llevar dinero a sus hambrientas familias, ya que sus maridos habían ido a la guerra.
The fashion was a reflection of the crisis there was. Poor fabrics and of low quality were used to sew suits which were worn by men and women. People made their clothes with what they had, even with curtains. Skirts arrived until knees and were tight ( to save fabric ) and shoulder pads were fashionable again.
La moda era un reflejo de la crisis que había. Se usaban las telas pobres y de mala calidad para coser trajes de chaqueta, los cuales eran vestidos por hombres y mujeres. La gente se hacía los vestidos con lo que podía, incluso con cortinas. Las faldas llegaban hasta la rodilla y eran estrechas ( para ahorrar tela ) y las hombreras estaban de moda otra vez.
In general, the colours were very restrained and long socks were no more made of silk, but of nylon and those that didn't have it painted their legs to imitate the effect. To be elegant women used gloves, hats and coats. Meanwhile in France women wanted to continue being the most fashionable and they developped an eccentric style to show their indipendence. While other women tried to appear simple and modest, french women started using dark red for lips and wearing blue, red and white dresses.
En general, los colores eran muy sobrios y las medias no estaban hechas de seda sino de nylon y quienes no lo tenían se pintaban las piernas para emular el efecto. Para ser elegantes las mujeres usaban guantes, sombreros y abrigos. Mientras tanto en Francia las mujeres querían seguir siendo las mejor vestidas y desarrollaron un extravagante estilo para mostrar su independencia. Mientras que otras mujeres intentaban vestirse con modestia y sobriedad, las francesas comenzaron a usar pintalabios de color rojo oscuro y a vestir vestidos azules, rojos y blancos.

For the make up English women discovered a new way to make up. They used polish boots as mascara and to paint their eyebrows and rose petals or immersed ribbons on red wine as blusher.
Para el maquillaje las inglesas encontraron un nuevo modo de maquillarse. Usaban betún de botas como rimel o para pintarse las cejas y petalos de rosa o cintas sumergidas en vino rojo como colorete.
