1930¡¯s- Glamour! Reeling from the effects of the great depression and the small value of the dollar, many women, those with enough money to afford the luxury of makeup, chose to look like movie stars such as Greta Garbo. Silk dresses were fashionable and cleavage was again taboo. Women of high society held private parties.
