This was a fantastic, informative video. Did coupons 'roll over'- if you didn't use them all up in the year? I can't remember the name for the life of me- but in a novel I read, it seemed to be a preoccupation of the characters to talk about 'pre-war quality' food & clothes...
First time I found you. How intelligent of a take on this subject! Subbing.
Basically this made it illegal to have clothing if you were large. I sew for a friend whose “waist/abdomen” height from hip line to bust is 7 1/2 inches longer than mine. No surprise that her hips are larger than mine, too. It’s hard enough to find independent pattern companies that do designs in her size, but it’s almost like they were making being her size illegal. There were clearly larger people then, too, although because their foods were not manufactured in the way, ours are, and people weren’t dieting as much, it was likely a smaller percentage of them there..

What beautiful feedback! Thank you so so much! ❤❤❤ I used to be a teacher so my brain automatically goes to tangible examples haha.
How much fabric where you allowed to buy?
Wow, I appreciate all your research to make this video! 👏 I think of my mother, who grew up in these years, and I tell you, I learned a lot from her on make do & mending! (Of course, garment quality has gotten weak over these years, but I still learned how to take care of my favorite wardrobe pieces from her 💖).

Thank you lovely, I'm flattered! I'll get myself around to a makeup video one day! 😊
The background music is very distracting. If using background music it needs to be at a lower volume.
