Make Do and Mend

This fall, dresses with cinched waists, square shoulders, dainty floral prints, and knee-skimming silk are a nod to the ladylike style of the 1940s. Simplicity and versatility are key. And the trends of the 40s still apply today, add a pair of platform pumps, mix some prints, borrow some vintage accessories, and you’re set.
