[@Donna-Ballentine]

I love this video, one of the woman in this video is a dead ringer for my mother, she was a nurse in WWII!

[@armynursecorpsww2]

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.

Amazing video, can't wait for the next episodes. 👍

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

[@blewis9159]

This is fantastic, thanks! I'd love to see more about the other uniforms too, and where you find all this great info on the uniforms and time periods involved. I'm in France and looking to make my own ANC impression. I'm interested in the white dress with blue cape. Thanks again for a great video!

Hello and thank you for your positive comment! We really appreciate it.

[@blewis9159]

@@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.

[@josephbevacqua9217]

Nice video

[@izabizsmith333]

Could I get a pattern for the outfits I would like to start reenacting but I need to make/buy the outfits.

[@armynursecorpsww2]

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! 🎥👗👞

Class, pure class …. thank you.

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

my wife has just bought this uniform but cannot find where to buy the service cap , could you point us in the right direction to buy one from ? Thanks muchly

[@Panzerpuppe]

Very nice outfits, where can I buy something like that? I have been looking for WW2 army women's uniforms in size 44/46 for a long time. 💜

[@armynursecorpsww2]

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!

[@Panzerpuppe]

@@armynursecorpsww2 cool, thank you! 💜

[@theplaylistofcassidy9246]

A video about Off Duty Dresses please !

[@richardtaitano3810]

So when will you post a video?

[@ameliabrown3987]

Where do you source your uniforms from?

[@armynursecorpsww2]

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.

[@liamfoley9215]

Very interesting, thanks! Was it rally called ‘drab’?!!!

[@horizon622000]

I love your stockings🌹

[@hammockguy]

In which situations they wear the "Garrison" cap ? I never understood this.

[@armynursecorpsww2]

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.

[@annmoffetclose]

My mother served in the Army Nurse Corps in WWII and has recently passed. She wanted to be buried in an authentic uniform. Do you have any idea where I could purchase one?

[@lemonnie5026]

Hello! Just wondering, are the coats reproductions?

[@LaHayeSaint]

Loved the video but would have liked to see the US girdle fitted. The British Service girdle was more like a horse's saddle!

[@JohnPatterson-kz8jr]

No wonder they called Margaret Houlihan "Hot Lips".
