Shoulders Versus Drape in 1945: Vogue 1903

This re-issued vintage sewing patter from 1945 is just in time for cool weather in my neck of the woods as the temperature is tumbling. It is an interesting blend of big shoulders and softer gathers at the waistline. There was a shift in fashion for daywear during the late 1930s as Europe broke out in war. Women’s clothing took on bigger shoulders and got rid of a lot of its frills which seemed in keeping with serious times through 1945. You can see here the signs of shoulder pads as the bulk continues past the actual end of the shoulder line. Since this pattern does not call for shoulder pads among its notions, the sewing directions may well call for making them up yourself out of the cotton flannel which is also used for an interlining.

At the same time, women’s clothing rarely looked like men’s clothing which had long had serious shoulder pads. Instead, you see here a deeply cut arm hole which would not have been seen in men’s tailored coats. They are also one piece, another feature more likely to be seen in women’s clothing than men’s. You see a belt which runs through a casing at the back then pops out at the front side seams and ties outside the coat. It is practical in that you won’t ever lose it as does happen when a belt it merely slide through loops on the outside of a coat. It is also a style feature allowing for soft gathers front and back and the option of tying the coat more tightly to show off an hour-glass figure. The standing collar helps to keep out the chill, yet the limited number of buttons, only 4, tell you that style as much as practicality is embodied in this design.

The gathers are why they suggest medium weight wools as anything heavier would make for bulk at the waistline gathers. In keeping with the vintage sewing instructions, they suggest you interline it with cotton flannel, but I would urge you to track down the kind of slippery lining that has a wool backing to it which will keep you much warmer. Again, check for bulkiness in the lining.

Wow, this "gender free" fashion brand sure doesn't have any AMAB models.

#If you can't put someone with a beard in one of your skirts you have failed as a queer brand #My punishment for dkbefafely clicking on an ad #OK I did find exactly one in the infographic about their big and tall coveralls #But they weren't in the actual product listings for the products.#Fashion #Queer fashion #Nonbinary #Women and femmes #Genderqueer #And I do mean AMAB. I didn't see any trans women either #post o' mine

The female goat herders of Hadhramaut, Yemen

Goat herding is traditionally done by females in Eastern Yemen. The women cover all their skin from the heat and sun, protecting themselves from dehydration and skin damage, the socks and gloves keep their hands and feet soft despite the unforgiving desert sun. The hat (made from dried palm leaves) besides being a drip by itself serves an important role, it insulates air on top of their head thus keeping it cool, besides providing the obvious shade. The layered clothing also helps with the desert changing mood, where it can shift from hot days to cold nights.
