Fashion of the Future!...according to fashion designers in 1939

Wedding dresses made of glass, dresses that can have pieces easily zippered on and off for morning, afternoon or evening wear and "another designer goes so far as to say skirts will disappear entirely" -

 this last particular statement is partially true; women today in western societies do often wear pants more often than skirts. The fact that this prediction seems "far out there" speaks for the ideals of the time period and shows it seems a common firm belief that women belong in skirts. Another segment I found interesting was the "morning, afternoon, or evening wear." While today we may change into something a little nicer before going out to dinner, the notion of needing to have three separate outfits for one day if foreign and a little too demanding. This segment shows there were expected and most likely practiced rules for what type of clothing one could wear and at what time of day. For many college students such as myself, jeans, a T-shirt and Converse do just fine.
