Hi,

I am a fashion design major and I provided some links to help you out. :) The main influences on fashion in the 1940's was WWII and hollywood glamour.

Baiscally in the 1940's they wore more frilly things with bigger bows and more lace. They didnt wear short skirts and really exposed shoulder or neck things. But, you can add a modern touch if you want!

Good Luck!
