1940's day

[glennda]

We are doing a 1940's themed day here (for remembrance day to raise funds for the Royal British Legion). Need some ideas as to 1940's clothing?

 

I though about getting a cheap uniform or something off the net

 

Any ideas? preferable from clothes that i might be able to get hold of!

Make clothes from a pair of curtains.

 

Just like they did back in the day.

Is hiring the required items is a possibility?

I purchased one of these for a party last month:

I picked up a genuine 1940s soldier's uniform (RWF) from a vintage clothing shop locally for our Open Evening theme. It even fitted me, and I'm 6'2" and just over 11 stone. Anywhere in Yellow Pages?

I'll have a look - i thought about hiring something but didn't want to end up spending loads of money!

 

I'll look through the various links around.

 

Are other schools doing anything on Friday apart from the Mins Silence?

Yeah, we've decided to invade Russia.
