A few months ago, I read this article, and it's been sitting at the back of my mind since then.
The main point being that no one really dresses like that anymore, do they? It's funny, really. Since I don't actually even know what an evacuee is exactly... But I'm assuming it was someone sent away from cities in England to go live in the country side to avoid the blitzkrieg during World War II.
So not only does it involve high socks and sensible shoes, there are also interesting hairstyles, and odd foods to go along with it. Since food rationing happened then as well. Anyway, I'm in the middle of reading another article about evacuees/English fashion in the 1940s, and I think I might give it a try.
Just for funsies.
