Golden Era Collar Shapes

[jetgirl]

There is quite a lot of discussion on the men's boards about collar shapes by decade or even year, is this discussed in a thread here? I thought I remember seeing a photo from the library of congress that had women with round collared shirts working away in the aircraft factory. Now I can't find the photo, and I'm wondering if I imagined it. I believe round collars didn't really come in for shirt collars (I'm thinking with dungarees or under overalls) until the very late 40's. Is this true? In general, I wonder if anyone could plot the rise and fall of the collar shape (in general terms).

I'm asking because I just bout a very cute workshirt that would be great under my overalls, except that it has a round rather than a convertible collar, so I can't decide whether it looks too 50's.

Check this thread.
But I have some patterns where the shirt dress has rounded collars. I would think there are less stringent dealings in womens clothes because they made a lot of what they wore.

Thank you for that.
That pattern has a round collared convertible collar. Interesting.
