1940s Fashion

4th and 5th Grade inspiration board for Grandparents' Day costumes. Girls: wear a button-up dress, or a button-up top or sweater with a knee-length skirt. Hats would be awesome! Boys: wear a suit or a dress shirt with a sweater or vest over it, and dress pants. Again, hats are a great touch. Want more ideas? Look here! Anything on this board is great. We can have sailors, soldiers, pilots, nurses, and even Rosie the Riveter.
