EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Dress 2 into 1 by Jean Burnup," showcases an innovative fashion solution during the wartime era in Britain, specifically in October 1941. With the backdrop of World War II (WWII), rationing and fabric shortages were a significant challenge for the fashion industry and everyday people. Jean Burnup, a fashion designer, came up with a creative way to address these issues by designing a dress that could be transformed from one outfit into two. The image captures the essence of this ingenious design, featuring a woman named Eve, dressed in the versatile garment. The dress, cleverly named "1 into 2, 2 into 1," is depicted in two distinct appearances. In the first transformation, the dress is shown as a stylish daytime ensemble, complete with a belted waistline and a full skirt. The second transformation reveals the dress's evening version, where the skirt is removed, and the top half is transformed into a chic off-the-shoulder blouse, paired with a pencil skirt. This photograph is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of people during wartime. The British spirit of making the most of limited resources is beautifully illustrated through Jean Burnup's design. The image, taken in 1941, is a reminder of the creativity and ingenuity that emerged during this challenging period in history. The photograph, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is rights managed and is an essential addition to any collection focusing on fashion in wartime or the 1940s in Britain.
