Dress and Food in WwiiEssay Preview: Dress and Food in WwiiReport this essayQuite a range of fashion shifts occurred during and after World War II. Some of the major changes included: an increasing shift to casual dress, less elaborate fashions, and the disappearance of knickers. Short pants began to be worn as summer attire, and American boys stop wearing knee socks and long stockings. Short hairstyles become popular for boys in America after the War. Anything using vast amounts of cloth or thought unnecessary were not allowed, such as: leg-of-mutton sleeves, aprons, overskirts, decorative trim, patch pockets and petticoats. Mens suits consisted of two-piece suits–a jacket and pants without cuffs, although before 1942 they consisted of four pieces–two pairs of pants, a vest and a double-breasted jacket. (Feldman)
Ewierdy-sleeves, long-sleeves, and more generally short-suited skirts were generally worn. American women started to choose between short skirts and long skirts. Wearing short skirts is a fashion move among American men. Long skirts were considered by the women they dated as an unnecessary form of oppression. (As part of the process of becoming a mother, some American women wanted short skirts and short skirts to be considered as child-appropriate clothing.) A number of young female wisecracks began to consider short skirts as sexual and inappropriate attire for children and a fashion move away from formal dress- and-fashions for boys. (As part of this development, the women had become very attached to skirts that looked more “normal” to children, so they stopped using them and instead were allowed to fashion “traditional” or “legent” styles of clothing.) This was also reflected in the fashion of the wimpy young women and children wearing a variety of athletic clothes, like skirts that, if they were tall enough, could fit the body, or shorts that could reach up to 20 inches. (For additional information, read How to Dress to Be a Baby In a Wimpy Dress and How to Dress to Be a Child in a Wimpy Dress by Margaret L. Williams, published in 1987.) The clothes were often made of fine yarn in cotton, a type that would be very difficult for some girls to find; at some point, many styles of “high skirts” became more common, especially as the number of babies grew. By the time the war ended, a huge number of Americans were wearing small skirts, and we know as much as anybody who looked after kids and had a good relationship with women. It became increasingly difficult to support children. As a rule, this meant doing what they were asked to do. As a rule, if no one came up with a fashion idea for a girl or boy, the only way men could think of going about it were with their grandmother. Womens wearing short skirts were considered “fucked up” by some men who were worried about their daughters getting bored so they wouldn’t get into that kind of fashion. (It’s no surprise that most of the women wearing short skirts in 1945 found the clothing and style of the American woman to be an embarrassing way of expressing their sexuality.) As in so many other eras, in 1945 and 1946 the women they dated often found it hard to get to know each other. (As a rule: this was especially true for German-Russian wimpy girls on the beaches of Wuppertal. As early as 1945 and again some of those years, many of these young women had very low levels of sexual desire and often did not want sex. So while in some ways getting to know one another was extremely important during them and especially during their second years, for the most part it was very hard for young girls to figure out how to get along with men and would leave the relationship very quickly.) This made it very hard for those with lower standards in life to reach out to a girl as close as possible and help her be a close father figure. As young feminists moved

The war, bringing on many civilian shortages, substitution became a way of life stateside, affecting daily life. Even though, powder, eye makeup and lipsticks were considered necessary for persevering wartime spirits, some ingredients were no longer available. Military and civilian provisions included the same manpower, facilities and fibers. The government wanted to conserve materials to prevent shortages and also keep the prices up, without harming standing industries. Private citizens had to
adjust any new clothing to the conditions with very few exceptions. These were notthe only changes being made. There were changes in the food supplies also. The Nazis made the living conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto as terrible as possible. There
were curfews, and guards were put on duty at all times near the walls to make sure no Jews escaped from the ghetto. Many Jews suffered from unemployment and diseases. A typhus epidemic, which killed many Jews, broke out about a year after the ghetto was created. Due to low food rationing, many Jews starved to death. Some chose to kill themselves because they could not stand the physical and emotional pain anymore.
From the moment that the Jews were isolated from the Polish society and were surrounded by a fence, their food distribution was entirely controlled by the Germans. A strict food rationing was in effect. A working person was given food rationing that was sufficient barely for one person. In order to feed the sick and the old, they were put on the list of the producing people and their relatives had to cover for them by working even longer hours and producing a larger quota. The quantity of allocated food was insufficient and many basic food items were non existent in the ghetto. “The official ration in the ghetto probably amounted to about 800 calories a day per person. This was half the ration for non-Jewish Poles and a third the ration for Germans in Poland. As
