There's one original beige service cap for sale currently on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/296681427905 (minus the insignia).

The garrison cap was authorized for U.S. Army nurses in July 1944. From that point on, they could wear it on any occasion with their service uniform, both official and unofficial.

Thank you for your comment!

Hello and thank you for your question. While we don't have a pattern for the garments featured in this video, we can certainly help point you in the right direction. The uniforms you see in the video are actually WWII originals that we've acquired mainly through eBay. Occasionally, you can find such historical pieces in Facebook militaria groups (for example "Female Militaria Collectors Group"), at militaria shows or from collectors. There are reproductions out there but the quality is not quite the same as the original garments. (Example: nestof.pl/en/products/us-uk-39-45/u-s-army/u-s-uniforms/us-wac-jacket-od-repro-9623.html or www.sofmilitary.co.uk/us-womens-officers-od-51-jacket-uniform-a-class-tunic.html) Good luck with your reenactment journey! 🎥👗👞

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We really appreciate it. It's viewers like you who help videos like this reach a wider audience. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to leave such a positive comment! 😊👍

That's incredible! It must be nice to see someone who resembles your Mother in this video. Nurses who served during WWII were true heroes. 💕 Thank you for your comment.

Hello and thank you for your positive comment! We really appreciate it. <3 This page is a good start to your research: www.blitzkriegbaby.de/ It contains basic information on different WWII female uniforms. The author of this page also published a book on Army Nurse Corps uniforms. It's like a bible to all ANC reenactors. You can order it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Women-Victory-American-Servicewomen-Uniforms/dp/0764339591 We are also slowly adding descriptions of different ANC uniforms to our website: www.armynursecorpsww2.com/en/uniforms-equipment. And apart from that, almost any Army Nurse memoir or interview mentiones the uniforms at some point. The white dress and blue cape might be tricky as none of these uniforms is reproduced. You can look for original ones but they are not cheap. For example, there's one blue cape on eBay now: www.ebay.com/itm/126054559028. If you like this combination, you might enjoy the photo gallery from our recent "Pearl Harbor" event: www.armynursecorpsww2.com/en/rekon-2023. Good luck with your search!

@@armynursecorpsww2 Thank you so much, this is INCREDIBLY helpful! And your outfits at the Pearl Harbor event are absolutely PERFECT, that's exactly what I want to do! You mentioned that that particular uniform's pieces aren't reproduced, so how did you all get that outfit? Did you all find original vintage versions online, or were some handmade? I do know how to sew, so I'm willing to make them myself, but I have no idea where to find an accurate pattern for that cape or dress.

Hello, thank you for your nice comment! The uniforms that you can see in the video are genuine WWII uniforms. 99% of them comes from eBay auctions. Facebook militaria groups are also a great place to buy uniforms. Search for "Female Militaria Collectors Group", "WW2 women's uniforms search and sell" or "US Military Collectibles "Make Offer" Page". You can also check qmi.be/en/ for nice reproductions. Hope that helps!

@@armynursecorpsww2 cool, thank you! 💜

Hello Amelia, thank you for your question. The majority of our service uniforms are WWII original and were purchased on online auctions (eBay). Some accessories, shoes and field uniforms (not shown in this video) are modern reproductions. Since we're located in Europe, we like to order from QMI (qmi.be/en/), for example. You can also find some treasures on Etsy, militaria Facebook groups and militaria shows.

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback. We hope this video will help new reenactors and everyone looking for information about WWII ANC uniforms!

Thank you, guys! We're glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Hello, thank you for your question. Sadly, we do not have the capacity to work on new content right now. Almost all of our events were canceled due to covid. Hopefully, we will be able to add new videos in the future.

@@armynursecorpsww2 do you wanna hear ideas you can use?

Thank you!

Thank you so much, Franklin! This is the best comment we could get. Do you know the history of your Mother-in-Law's service? Was she in Europe?

Thanks Sara, we're glad you like it. Turbans are great if your rollers fail you or you simply have no time to style your hair :) Also keeps the hair out of the way.

Thank you so much! We hope to publish more videos soon.
