PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Teal dress with white contrast trim and elasticated waist
- White mock apron overlay with medical cross emblem
- White nurse's cap headpiece with cross emblem
This Womens Retro Nurse Costume brings back the streamlined, professional look of 1960s–70s hospital staff — teal dress with crisp white collar, short sleeves, and a medical cross emblazoned across the front apron panel. It's a costume that works equally well for vintage-themed parties, Halloween, or any event where you want to channel old-school medical glamour.
The fitted sheath dress hits just above the knee with white contrast piping along the collar, cuffs, and apron edges. Elasticated waist gives you comfortable wear without sacrificing the tailored silhouette. The white nurse's cap completes the retro hospital look — bobby-pin it in place and you're ready to go.
Perfect For
Medical & Hospital Themed Parties: A go-to for medical-themed costume events, ER or scrubs parties, or vintage hospital galas — pair with a stethoscope prop (not included) for added authenticity.
Halloween & Costume Parties: Works brilliantly for Halloween nights, hen's parties, or any costume event where you want a polished, recognisable look that's easy to style.
Couples & Groups Costumes: Teams perfectly with a doctor, surgeon, or paramedic costume for couples or group themes — coordinate with friends for a full vintage hospital crew.
How to Wear It
Style with white platform heels or clean white sneakers, fishnets or white stockings, and add a stethoscope or clipboard prop for the full effect. Hair in a low bun or sleek ponytail keeps the retro vibe authentic.
FAQ
What size should I order?
Check the size chart for chest and waist measurements — the dress has an elasticated waist for some flex, but if you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit.
Can I wear this over regular clothes for indoor events?
The dress is designed to be worn on its own (not as an over-layer). Pair it with comfortable undergarments and tights if the venue's air-conditioned.
How do I attach the nurse's cap?
The cap typically secures with bobby pins (not included). Pin it near the crown of your head for the classic tipped-forward look.
Is this suitable for a work costume day or just parties?
Works beautifully for both — career day dress-up, hospital fundraiser events, or retro-themed work days. The modest knee-length cut and short sleeves keep it office-appropriate.
Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry; avoid bleach on contrast trim.
