Furnishings Market Plans Postwar Recovery
Civilians may buy much furniture in 1944 but most household goods restrictions will continue. Manufacturers will resume prewar models after the war, while research develops new designs with different materials. Furniture makers face 84 percent lumber limits, trimming non essential pieces and eliminating frills. Plastic or metal use is unlikely for years, and new upholstered furniture developments lag. Springless furniture may end abruptly if restrictions lift.
Accessories Give Spring Touch Marked By Conservation
Accessories for spring emphasize conservation with hats gloves and handbags in a wide color and fabric range. Sailor hats with varying brims, side swept silhouettes, and coordinated handbags define the mood. Rough surface leathers and dyed snakes replace calfskin as wartime limits restrict shades to black white and two browns. pastel trims and long gloves complement lighter costumes.
