Ensemble in light grey silky satin with 3/4 sleeves bodice with draped neckline, simple buttoning and a slanted skirt, worn with a matching belt.In 1939 and unlike 1914-18, women are very active. They participate in war efforts, sometimes even enlist theselves in the resistance. In times of scarcity of raw materials and while most Parisian haute couture fashion houses close the curtain, women reinvent their wardrobe. The silhouette of a liberated woman develops, far from the dictates of glamour of the 30.
