Star-spangled Girls – 1940s
The 1940s brought World War II, which drastically changed things. That global war affected everything, including fashion. Broad shoulders with long limbs were the most preferable option. Plus, many ladies sported the bullet/torpedo bra.

Betty Grable was at the forefront for the ideal female body type in the ’40s. She was a popular pin-up girl of that decade, which you could see just about everywhere. Even military men had her photograph in their foot-lockers!
