The mid-20th century was an amazing time for American womenâ€™s fashion! Following the war, women started looking to American designers rather than French couture houses for inspiration and to demand clothing they could move in, even play in. In this follow-up to Gertieâ€™s New Book for Better Sewing, Gretchen â€œGertieâ€ Hirsch celebrates the classic casual styles that icons like Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, and Rosie the Riveter made famousâ€”think wide-legged trousers, fitted capri pants, beach rompers, shorts, knit tops, jeans, and day dresses. In Part I, Hirsch introduces key techniques for sportswear constructionâ€”from working with knit fabrics to the intricacies of pant-makingâ€”and in Part II, she showcases a 30-plus-piece vintage-inspired casual wardrobe.
