It was also a time of tremendous social upheaval, bringing new opportunities and freedoms. Whatever their wartime role—as nurses, naval officers, or factory workers—women needed the right clothes for the job. From the luxurious silks of High Society, to the boots and breeches of the Women's Land Army, this booklet explores the impact of war on fashion 1914-1918 with unique images and beautiful original garments.
