Dig for Victory Costumes

Dig for Victory Land Army Girl outfits make an excellent choice for girls needing a suitable costume for a 1940’s event.

Dungarees, blouse, a cardigan and a headscarf are comfortable and easy to wear and with flat boots offer a sensible option if you are manning a vintage stall or need to be on your feet all day.

Land Army Girls can still be glamorous and with careful attention to hair style and make-up, the land working girl is a great look for events like Twinwood and The Goodwood Revival.

At Admiral Costumes we have a large collection of vintage dungarees, blouses, headscarves and cardi’s available for hire, with small sizes available for children.

Alternatively, our hand-made dungarees can be purchased and made to measure in either sand, khaki or Navy – just give us a call on 01908 372504 or e-mail info@admiralcostumes.co.uk    (please allow 2 weeks for delivery)

Our Land Army Girls have appeared at vintage fairs, 1940’s events, schools, Goodwood and VE Day celebrations.

Dad’s Army Costumes

Dad’s army costumes need to look authentic and be tailored to the individual characters in the play, which is based on the popular television comedy series set in the fictitious 1940’s town of Walmington-on-Sea. 

There are some very strong characters in the piece with the pompous banker, Captain Mainwaring, leading a troop of unlikely local men to train as the home guard.

With the suave sergeant Wilson as his sidekick, Mainwaring leads his ‘privates’ into all sorts of hilarious mishaps whilst trying to save Walmington-on-Sea from invasion by the Germans.

The troop includes Lance Corporal Jones the butcher, Frazer the dour Scots undertaker, the incontinent Godfrey and dim witted mummy’s boy Pike, who always wears a scarf over his uniform.

Other characters include, Mrs Pike with her coat and headscarf, Mrs Fox with her brash dress and fox fur and the plainly dressed Mrs Grey.

Admiral Costumes have a great set of WW2 style blouson tunics, trousers, chip bag hats and putties to create the look for this show. With some lovely tea dresses, coats and hats for the 1940’s ladies.

For more information on how we can help you with your Dad’s Army production, please give us a call on 01908 372504 or visit www.admiralcostumes.co.uk

VE celebration of Liberation Day in Guernsey

VE celebration of Liberation Day in Guernsey took place on Saturday 9^th May exactly 70 years since the Island was liberated.

A whole day of festivities centred around the piers in St Peters Port included the Condor Liberation Cavalcade – a long cavalcade of military vehicles and decorated floats.

We were delighted to supply some Land Army Girls costumes for this event and the girls look great with their shirts, boots and their 40’s styled hair under colourful headscarves.

A big ‘thank you’ to the gorgeous girls on the ‘Dig for Victory’ float for these wonderful pictures.
