    Thanks for the great pics. My mom and aunts (who were young 20/30 somethings in the 1940s always wore tailored suits like these. needless to say they always looked so polished and smart. My favorite is the boxy coat with the fur collar. I'll have to get busy and make one of those!

    This was a great post to be able to look at the suits of that time period.
