{"Image DocumentName": "Materials used in the 1940\u2019s", "Image ImageDescription": "Fabrics Available Natural fibers (linen, cotton, wool, and silk), rayon, acetate, and nylon. Light- to medium-weight fabrics used, with light and sheer materials for nightwear. Nylon was seen as net overlays on formals and as the sole material in some sheer day dresses. Silk and nylon became difficult to come by as a result of WWII. Many fashion materials previously available were needed for the war, and were not readily available as they had been. Nylon was donated for the purpose of making parachutes.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
