A fact from 1930–1945 in Western fashion appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 October 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Walter Plunkett's "barbecue dress" for Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind was one of the most widely copied dresses in fashion of the 1930s and early '40s, second only to the Duchess of Windsor's wedding dress?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/October.

Suitability of image

I don't think that File:"For Baby's Future Buy War Bonds" - NARA - 514280.tif is a useful image for this article. Llewee added it, and I removed it. Rather than start a discussion, Llewee put it back in the article.

The war bond ad gives no clear view of anything to do with fashion. It's merely an infant in a nightshirt. The ad might be an interesting addition to Series E bond as representing ways war bonds were marketed, but it doesn't provide any useful view of fashion.

Schazjmd Apologies I hadn't realised you'd removed it and thought there was a problem with saving changes. I added the image as I though it would be useful to have a picture focused on a infant as most of the other children depicted are older. At the same time their isn't much detail in the image due to the way the baby is positioned I'll remove the image momentarily and see if I can find a more detailed replacement.--Llewee (talk) 17:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Llewee! Schazjmd (talk) 17:49, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PCC556 and Golikom:, please discuss the disputed content here, rather than through edit summaries while you revert each other. Thanks. Schazjmd (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PCC556:. That source is not a blog. It makes a clear statement although there was some additional OR which I have now removed. The whole of the rest of this para also supports this statement.Golikom (talk) 04:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoopee cap

Wikimedia Commons currently doesn't have a good reference image for the hat in question on a youth, though I'm not sure if it would be necessary. Submackeen (talk) 21:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
