In the United States you did not, except for shoes. Shoes were limited to two pairs per person per year. Other items were simply unobtainable, such as ladies stockings, because silk was not to be had. Some women used makeup to paint a "seam" up the back of their legs so it would look like they had on stockings. Nylon had just been invented and was going into parachutes, not into stockings yet.
