WHAT IS UTILITY CLOTHING?
An increased demand for uniforms put a lot of pressure on Britain's textile and clothing industries during the War. Both raw materials and labour had to be directed away from civilian production to ensure that the demand could be met for uniforms and the many other military uses of fabric. Even the armed forces themselves were affected by
shortages.
Hence, The Utility Clothing Scheme was a rationing
scheme introduced in the United Kingdon during World War
II.
Utility clothing covered a range of dresses, coats, jackets,
trousers, shirts, socks, gloves and shoes. They were
produced for men, women and children.
I found the idea of Utility clothing quite interesting and
wanted to research on, and study more about it.
I found the colour palettes and silhouttes very attractive.
This scheme changed the way that clothes the were made
earlier, forever.
