trinitykitty24 Posted April 23, 2015 Share #29 Posted April 23, 2015 the first tag is ww2 and the second tag is what they changed it to right after the war, so as I can see at least one item is ww2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsaye Posted April 23, 2015 Share #31 Posted April 23, 2015 Oh, yes, definitely WW 2 manufacture. I'm sure this CPO continued wearing her WW 2 uniforms for as long as they lasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry K. Posted April 23, 2015 Share #32 Posted April 23, 2015 Many changes in woman's uniforms came in the early 1950's, USMC was 1952 and the main thing you notice is the cut of the collars. Maybe the Navy changed theirs then also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Minton Posted October 7, 2015 Share #33 Posted October 7, 2015 It appears to me that the earlier dresses had the rounded collars instead of the pointed. This is why I was thinking these might be post WWII. I believe you are correct about them being later. Especially with her rank of Chief on the dresses. ...kat I was looking at Women's service dress blues on eBay yesterday, and if I recall I saw examples with rounded collars with contract dates into the 1970s. Did they change with the switch from jumpers to CPO style coats for the men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
