gwb123 Posted January 4, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2014 What type of uniform are you describing? There was a women's Mess Dress uniform that I believe was black including a jacket and a long black skirt. Is this what you are talking about?

gunbunnyB/3/75FA Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted January 5, 2014 hi, while the officer on the left,(3/4) view looks a bit like it, i'm an idiot some times, i forgot to mention that this uniform was a army issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted January 5, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2014 It sounds like the commissioned Army blues. What kind of buttons are on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotx Posted November 22, 2019 Share #11 Posted November 22, 2019 My mother was in the WAAC / WAC during WW2. When she was discharged and began looking for a job, she didn't have a decent civilian outfit to wear to job interviews. So, to save money, she dyed one of her Class A uniforms black so it looked a little less military. She wore it with a white or pastel blouse under the jacket. She said that both men and women did this immediately after the war. The uniform is now in the WAC Museum at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
