1930's Girl's Hairstyles

What did little girls of the 1930's wear and how was their hair cut?

1930's Girls

This is an endearing photo from about 1933 showing two siblings standing with their arms around one another. They both have bobs, one is straight and one is curly. The girl on the right has bangs with a length that hits just past the ears. This short style was very popular during this era as women were entering the workforce in numbers and wanted an easy care cut. The kids were given the same haircuts which saved time and energy. They are wearing sun suits that were typically one piece and these have halter tops that synch up at the neck. The bottom half is like shorts with full and loose legs.

1940's WWII Couple

There is something very romantic about a WWII couple and this vintage photo shows a US Army Air Force crewman with his sweetheart while home on leave.

1940's WWII couple

This is my aunt and uncle so I know the story. This man was a tail gunner on a B17 bomber during WWII. He came home on one leave during his deployment and this photo was taken at that time. He is wearing his military uniform and has his arm around his young wife who is wearing her hair in a classic pin up style. Her hair is dark, full of curls, and shoulder length. The top has height while the sides are bobby pinned close to the scalp to give the appearance of a partial updo. It was common for women of this era to wear a simple white blouse and a patterned print skirt that has a wide waist band and pleats. The length is to the knee. Her shoes lace up and bobby socks were fashionable.
