Please do not reply here since this isn't a ren garb question but I didn't know where else to ask...

Our 16th wedding anniversary is coming up and we are going on a 3 hour train ride on the Minnesota Zephyr. http://www.minnesotazephyr.com/discover.shtml The era is post WWII (late 1940's) and I'd like to dress the part or at least be "inspired".  After googling several variations on 40's fashion, I have not come up with consistent results. 

I prefer the later Dior "New Look" with larger skirts since I do not have a figure that would compliment the pencil thin, wasp waisted styles.  Suggestions?  Links?  Please renmail.  Thank you all!

Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.
