At this time the pencil skirts where coming in and belts at the waist. This broke away from the straight long flapper dresses of the 1930s. I have pictured Helen as very sophisticated wearing a smart fashionable dress. Diamonds and Pearls I feel is fundamental to Helen's character.
Seamed Stockings!
With the break out of war food, clothing, petrol almost everything was rationed including stockings. At this time ladies were always wearing stockings especially, it was a common trend when you were unable to have a pair of stockings you would imitate stockings with an eyebrow pencil and coffee or some form of tanning agent of the time.
I felt it was important to research this area as it occurs for Helen. I think this just highlights how women had to go to extremes in order to maintain their fashionable status.
