In many ways it was more challenging. The second world war found the British people more prepared for the austerity in food and household goods. There are some WWI knitting patterns on the Web but I haven’t spent time yet looking for sewing patterns, beyond the newer line of patterns for sale.

Pleasure admitted in undue degree Enslaves the will, nor leaves the judgment free….

It was made of very itchy wool and had rubber buttons on it.
Even worse was the sanitary protection…pads had a loop at the front and back and were attached to a belt. Imagine wearing all that lot nowadays!

I’m very interested in bra design and bra-making. Your post has brought me to the conclusion that I have some things to learn from older support garments that I had not realized before. In general, I think I’ve assumed that everything before the bra was uncomfortable. (This is in part because of a bad experience I had wearing a corset while designing and making my wedding dress. Long story short: First I felt uncomfortable sitting, then I became claustrophobic and I had to get out of it.)

If you do more work on support garments, I hope you’ll post your thoughts and experiences regarding those too. I’ve greatly enjoyed your writing here on your blog, as well as all the effort you have put into “Fashion on the Ration”. Loved it!
