1960s Navy Women's Mess Dress Rank Insignia?

I was organizing some of my hard drive and ran across these photos. I bought these uniforms at a base thirft store around 2004. The lady running the thrift store was a retired Navy Nurse Corps Captain (O-6) and she told me the original owner of this uniform retired as a Nurse Corps Rear Admiral. Unfortunately, I blotted out the name on the tailor's label in the photo, and don't have the original photo or the mess dress anymore...too bad! I have NO idea what rank these are, but when I sold them on eBay, some confrontational SOB told me they were ROTC, etc... whatever. They obviously aren't, but at the same time, I've NEVER seen 1" wide cloth stripes before.

 

Anyone ever seen these before, or know what they represent? The Nurse Corps insignia is also about 3/4 size as well...
