Description
This is an American Red Cross Volunteer Special Service Indoor Uniform. The yellow colored epaulets on the shoulders indicate that this uniform was worn by a member of the Staff Assistance Corps. The Red Cross insignia is sewn onto the upper left pocket of the dress and a Red Cross Volunteer patch is sewn onto the left sleeve. The uniform dress, belt, and matching cap are all made from Commando Blue (a blue-grey) cotton fabric. The dress itself was produced by “It’s a Dilly Uniform” located in Houston Texas. The label also has the number 32 printed on it presumably indicating what is assumed to be the bust size of the dress.
The Nurse Cap associated with this uniform can be found by clicking the link below.
