A very brief history: In the 1940's fabric was rationed. So clothing became much more simple and practical. After the war there was a style made started by Coco Chanel called "the new style"(1947) that became the new fashion silhouette for the next ten years.
The site that I found these on also made black silhouettes of some of the designs from above. I though this could be useful to some.
Very useful,
