What's in the Box

Tailored olive green military jacket with sewn-on chevron stripes and medal ribbon
Matching knee-length pencil skirt
Attached military belt with brass-tone buckle
Garrison-style side cap with star appliqués

This Kids Army Girl Costume brings 1940s Women's Army Corps history to life, styled as a complete WWII-era servicewoman's dress uniform. The tailored jacket features authentic sergeant chevron stripes on both sleeves, a service medal ribbon pinned to the chest, and gold military buttons down the front.

Made from mid-weight cotton-blend fabric in olive green, the jacket has structured shoulders and a belted waist that creates a flattering peplum silhouette. The pencil skirt hits just below the knee, and the garrison cap (overseas cap) features gold star appliqués for period-correct detail. Medal ribbon and chevrons are pre-sewn — no assembly needed.

Perfect For

Book Week & History Projects: A natural fit for WWII historical fiction like Number the Stars, wartime stories, or 1940s-set novels. Also brilliant for school history presentations covering World War II, Women's Army Corps, or Anzac Day commemorations.

Anzac Day & Remembrance Events: Respectful costume for school Anzac services, dawn service dress-ups, or classroom units on Australian military history. The authentic uniform details make it suitable for educational contexts.

Themed Parties & Dress-Up Days: Works for vintage-themed events, 1940s decade days, wartime evacuee dress-ups, or Halloween with a historical twist. Pairs beautifully with rolled hair and mary-jane shoes.

How to Wear It

Pair with a white collared shirt or blouse underneath (wearer's own — not included) and black mary-janes or patent flats. Style hair in 1940s victory rolls or pin curls for full period effect.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The jacket is tailored with a fitted waist, so if your child is between sizes or prefers a looser fit, size up — the belt adjusts to cinch the waist.

Q: Does the white shirt come with it?

No — the images show a white blouse worn underneath for styling, but that's the wearer's own garment. Any white collared shirt from your child's wardrobe will work perfectly.

Q: Is this suitable for Anzac Day school events?

Yes, the authentic WWII uniform styling makes it appropriate for school Anzac Day commemorations, history presentations, or classroom dress-ups. The costume is respectful and historically accurate without being combat-focused.

Q: Can they move comfortably in the pencil skirt?

The skirt is knee-length with enough ease for walking and sitting. It's styled like a 1940s dress uniform skirt — fitted but not restrictive. Great for assemblies and photo opportunities.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Press with warm iron if needed.
