When a woman went on holiday in the summer during the 1940s, her wardrobe consisted of morning, afternoon, and evening wear. Featured in this film are typical rayon afternoon dresses, snoods, and hats of the period. We love the print fabrics in these dresses and we looked up "snood" for you.

 

Snood - an ornamental hairnet or fabric bag worn over the hair at the back of a woman's head.
