Cathy
Comment: We hired an RAF uniform for my husband for the Goodwood Revival and were so pleased with the service (ability to order sizes online) and quality of the uniform hired! My husband really felt and looked the part! Unfortunately we had a very rainy Goodwood Saturday so will have to go again another year, and will certainly use Madhatters again!!

Ladies WVS Uniform
From: £35.70 for 5 days hire
The Women’s Voluntary Service For Air Raid Precaution (to give it its original name) was formed in June 1938. The membership was mainly middle class, with their uniform and conspicuous hats for which the volunteers had to pay.
In February 1939, with the role of the Women’s Voluntary Service for ARP ever expanding, the name was changed to the Women’s Voluntary Service for Civil Defence, although, they were often simply known as the WVS. If you are attending the Goodwood Revival, 1940’s party or Blitz party then this Ladies WVS uniform is authentic looking and practical. This 40s ladies uniform can be combined with the cardigan to complete the look. Dress up in ladies 1940s Uniforms and remember the sterling work these ladies did during the war effort.
