A Vintage 1940's Fashion Runway: 4K Restored 1947 Film USA 

No kidding!

Some of the clothes do look contemporary too

​@@panathatube Who did it first? Eh

Elegantly!

there are trends in catwalk walking styles. These days it's more of a strut than a glide.

@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 I don't like nowadays catwalk. They just throw their legs against ground as 8f they want to revenge for something.

@@eeaotly :) yeah, some of them really are stomping. Combined with a very severe expression it really is something.

I wouldn't wear them out of the house. Thank goodness the 60s came and brightened things up with vivid color

Truth be told you can wear them, I'm sure many men and women would secretly admire you as you'd look feminine in them.

@@SUGAR_XYLER so you're color blind then. too bad.

You still can!

​@@SUGAR_XYLER So you're a psycho then?

I agree, and it was a great choice for this video! I think they may have used some of the beautiful "Shimmering Pools" music found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SkTt3-hnPck.html It's one of my favorite soundtracks used on vintage videos. I wish it were longer, too.

I wouldnt say affordable but def beautiful

Sears and Woolworth type stores would lend affordable copies. Like how KMart and JC Penny does now. Opps, they gone bankrupt 😮but you get my drift.

@@17thcentury_girl People with less money would often make their own. I had a conversation with my mother about this a few days ago, she said they very rarely bought new clothes. They more often bought fabric instead. And they weren't poor either, they just weren't that rich.

stylish women always think about that, the celebrities make only a fraction of them, the rest, the 'invisible' stylish women invest in personable, beautiful and comfortable outfits that suit them perfectly. too bad the masses are fooled with trends and buy anything.

​​​@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 In your working job, if you made 0.62 to 1 dollar an hour, you could afford a dress by the end of an 8 hour shift. Some people made 1.5, 3.0 an hour, others 10 or 20 depending on how wealthy you were. An average dress, all of which already resembled the pieces worn here (I wouldn't go to say that all these pieces are above anything normal people wore), would be about $7 -$10 dollars. Getting a burger down the road from here or getting a restaurant reservation and having a fancy meal would range you from $1.0-2.16 for the burger and fries and drink, and $8.50 something for the dinner. By the way, Making $1 in 1946 is to be making 17.2 dollars with proper inflation raising. So you make 17 an hour, at lowest, 10.51 an hour. Most outfits ranged in the 30 $ range, some in 20, few around -1-2-3 dollars. Some dresses however were $4.00 and looked quite upper class. With that said, it was a decision to buy an outfit. Wasn't expensive, unless you were looking for a $30 municipal overcoat or a silk pencil skirt. A lot of people purchased cheaper in vacation areas and more expensive in areas like Chicago, San Francisco, areas of Manhattan near the park, Miami etc.

Yes awful now stomping and attitude what went wrong

You do not wanna go back to the 1940s.

@@stormthequeeen2751 I can completely understand and respect why u said that in ur comment.... there was WW2, where most of the men/ husbands and even some women were shipped off, but for those women who weren't, they had to do LITERALLY EVERYTHING & take care of EVERYTHING BASICALLY all by themselves, times obviously were MUCH harder financially/food rations etc...The world we live in today is TERRIFYING!! ALL the crimes...the violence....families seperate, neighbors don't look out for each other like they use too or even talk for that matter, and I'm sure i don't have to explain todays clothing/music/TV LOL...so I'd ONLY wanna go bk to that decade: "JUST for the way of life!!”😊💜

@@stormthequeeen2751 late 40s, yes

@@helenawarsinnak Yeah I totally understand! I also think the fashion style is pretty cute but I’m just not so sure about the life style.

@@stormthequeeen2751 😊

As a fashionista I agee, they were in particular amazing.

They would stand as high fashion today, so of course they would stand the idiocy of modern fashion.

*Archery outfit had my name all over it. (In my youth...)*

I want a few of them !!

Yes I loved the archery outfit the most.

model sizes weren't as standardized back then, especially for smaller fashion lines. So you saw a bit more variety. Most of them were slim but not as emaciated as some of the models we've seen since the 90s.

Agreed. Fashion shows back then were much more appealing. Looking forward to more from this amazing ch.

AGREE! What a difference, eh?

I have just watched a modern fashion with about 15 young women who all looked pale and unhappy. How times have changed

@@ritacowled3713 They probably weren't all real women.

As a woman, I’M begging, who knows how to sew?!?!

Bring back single earner households so that we actually have time and security to be concerned with our bodies and hemlines.

@@tyd8077 Hello…. Hi…. Amanda here…. Uhm…. This may sound a little off putting, and I apologize for the presumption…. But…. Are you my soulmate???!??

@@tyd8077be quiet! You just wanted to be negative. Agree and be quiet

@@missvida6251 I will not be quiet 😏 die mad about it 😭

There honestly use to be a time when classic fashions were always sold. I am in my 40s, so I had no clue that many of the pieces I wore were popular decades prior. Instagram has ruined everything.

Hear! hear!

😂 Not hardly...too drab

imo definitely more beautiful than any modern mainstream fashion show.
