Vietnam Donut Dolly Uniform?

Featured Replies

#1

I am looking for any info on the powder blue uniform worn by the donut dollies. I know there was a one piece and a two piece worn. what kind of material was it made of? and on the one piece, how was the belt attached, was it one belt and how did it fasten? I can't find an original, so I am trying to reproduce one, and be as accurate as I can be, for my displays. Thanks for any help!!

I believe the American Red Cross has a historian. Perhaps that might be a route to go. Good luck!

Gil is 100% right. Shirley Powers is her name and she is very responsive and helpful. I have used her help on several occasions.
