The extra pieces and finishing touches on 1940s fashion

An outfit is not complete without it’s accessories. That was no different in 1940s fashion, even with a war going on. There were so many different outfits and accessories on this shoot that I was overwhelmed with all of the clothing to photograph. Luckily, I was able to step upstairs in the Legacy Flight Museum and look at all of the outfits and clothing that people actually wore in that day. I think it would have been kind of fun to dress up like that all of the time.

Here are a few of my favorite 1940s fashion accessories shots that I took. I especially love the white pilot’s helmet. Which one if your favorite? I was using natural and auxiliary lighting for these photos. Which photo do you like best?
