Life Magazine 1947America in Color 1939-1943 - stunning pics of the Depression and War Years. If you think you might be doing, e.g., a kitchen full of farm wives fixing lunch (it would have been called "dinner") for the neighborhood farmers come to help with the threshing, this is the time to grab a few pictures of what they'd have  been wearing.  Those cotton frocks were called "wash dresses," pronounced "warsh" in the parts of West central Illinois. Some of the clothes were made from cotton grain sacks.
There are some little-girl dresses, too. The era was short on Cute, but some mothers looked to the movies for role models, and tortured their little girls' hair into Shirley Temple curls.
