It is
amazing how often nurses feature in films, plays and musicals. Take South
Pacific as an example of a chorus of nurses all in white US 50s nurse uniforms.
It has been
such fun putting together some 60s nurse uniforms inspired by Carry on Nurse
for a murder mystery play Sister Death, where it is delightful to see nurses as
the main characters.
Carry on
Nurse is set in the 60s with short dresses and little nurse hats with
embellishments for the sisters and matron. Matron was typically dressed in a
darker uniform with no apron and an almost nun-like veil.
We are so
often asked to provide a nurse uniform not only for period plays, but for 40s events
and parties. The long sleeved blue dress and gorgeous authentic nurses cape
with the red wool lining and cross over straps is so popular for Goodwood, the
Yorkshire railway and Poppy Line events.
Our WW1
uniform uses a long grey ankle length dress with the cape and a headscarf.
These have been extremely popular for the many centenary WW1 events that have
taken place recently around the country.
Nurse
uniforms also make a popular choice for fancy dress, with variations running
from zombie nurses for Halloween, through to sexy nurses and dames. Children’s nurse outfits are available for
school plays and youth productions.
