Ian Dunn Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Has anyone got any ideas where my daughter can get WW2 uniforms from at a reasonable price?? Ian (Cornwall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Ian, It depends what she wants,US or UK. if US http://www.ebay.com is probably the best bet,some rarer uniforms make big money but it's worth looking around at post war stuff,some of which can be made to look WW2 for living history etc. Matt.

berni Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 as Matt said it would depend wether UK or US. A nurse is ok for both nations and fairly widely available. small sizes are always easier to get hold of as many original uniforms are 25 in waist etc. you can go down the skirt/jacket route for both nations civilian outfits are also fairly easy. what vehicle have you got as it may be possible to get a uniform to go with that. We have got a bedford so I can get away with wearing my ATS uniform as a 'driver' but it also looks good for walking around. let us know what she wants and I'll try & lead you in the right direction ta Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berni Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 e bay is a good bet, if you go to the clothes section & then down to vintage then 1940's. there is normally loads on there. if she gets a day dress she can wear it with a hand knit cardi, ankle socks & shoes with a pinny & head scarf, then for the evening the same dress but with a hat & fur plus seamed stockings to dress it up a bit. this could only work for the older teenager. a youngster can get away with the ankle socks ribbons in hair & a cardi. cheers Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
