Women in Uniforms

 Another Living History event at the Nimitz Museum was dedicated to WW2 servicewomen.

Do you know that women's uniforms at that time were designed and made by an American fashion house?  A curious detail: red lipstick was part of the uniform and was provided by the Army/Navy. How cool was that? Two lipstick shades were in use: Victory Red and another one which was manufactured by Elisabeth Arden.

To learn more - visit the museum on a Saturday and participate in Living History presentations.

 






I've checked on the Internet - Victory Red is still available.
