WW1 nurse uniform?

Picked this up today and have no idea of the date, but the story goes that the uniform was from a distant relative of the donor who was a WW1 nurse. Some details: There are two long-sleeve ankle-length gowns and they button on the back from top to bottom. One gown is a light linen with a sewn on Red Cross patch, the other gown is a heavier cotton and no patch. Three aprons with the owners initials embroidered "NSV". I figure they are from the owner because I found a name tag that reads "N. Vollmer" Also two sashes that button around the waist. There is also a head covering not pictured - a large cloth with a red cross.

 

Any thoughts?

That's a very nice set!

 

I would say teens or early twenties because of the collar, I think they went to the open collar about the mid twenties like the Army did.
