In 1943, the British government issued a type of clothing called “Utility Clothing” with the CC41 label.
The rules were so strict that even the number of buttons, pleats, and the width of hems were regulated by law to save fabric for the war effort.
Women’s skirts could be no more than 2 inches below the knee, and men’s trousers could have no turn-ups (cuffs).
Would you have followed the rules, or would you have tried to sneak in an extra pleat? 😄
