The pic is cropped to show theRailroads on Paradestage show , which featured train of the past times , as well as one from our streamlined future . But it was n’t just the train that were streamlined — so were the wearing apparel .
The mode of that adult female in the middle ca n’t truly be appreciated without see her rig from the side view . The future sure looks so … awkward .
you may watch over uncommon ( color ! ) home movies of the 1939 Railroads on Parade show below , good manners of YouTube userRobert marten cat , whose grandfather shot the footage . Unfortunately , the film does n’t appear to have the “ futurist ” sleek train of the show ’s conclusion .
I hypothesize we can forgive the people who designed the futuristic fashions of 1939 for making wearing apparel that calculate so fantastically uncomfortable . They certainlyweren’t the first generation to look sillyin their quest to sweep up tomorrow .
