When posting this weeks updated event about Manchester Concord for this Wednesday I read on their website that the meeting on May 1st will have the theme of uniforms. - that is uniforms that are classified as "workwear".

Well I figured we could extend the description of uniforms we would like to wear to cover those uniforms we have either tried on or would love to wear. I found a picture of some Dutch Tgirls dressed as girl guides - so maybe some of you have tried that, or perhaps even a brownie uniform?

I would love to be able to go out as either an air hostess or a wren. What are your favorites, and maybe some of you have pix you could post?

hugs

I use to love the wrens uniform in the early eighties enhanced a good figure.Wish i could find 1 to fit xxx

oooh i love uniforms school air hostess i do have a few must dig out some pics lol xxxx

P I'll see if a friend can suggest a good cheap source.

I have always wanted to be an air hostess! not the current trolly dollies, which are like working on a coach trip serving drinks to drunk holiday makers! .....NOOO I mean the early sixties when air travel was sexy. I can see myself in a sky blue tight pencil skirt and crisp blouse, the swish of nylons as I stalk the gangway, hanging around in the cockpit....watching the crew play with their joysticks and trying to decide between the captain or the co-pilot or both to take me to bed at the crew hotel in Hong Kong! and being a regular member of the mile high club! now that's a uniform I'd wear in a heartbeat!! thanks for the forum topic P!! XXX

I always wondered why it was a Cockpit - now I understand.
However, I wouldn't have done the Hong Kong run in the 60-70s with re-fuelling stops etc you'd be too tired to really enjoy the break other than to sleep. Think closer to home and wealthy customers to fill in occasionally.
One last thing, it would not be blue, that's too much BOAC. I'd go for the Virgin red any time! And to be a virgin every trip.

The long trips Josephine, often had en-route hotel stopovers, so more chance to sleep!.. airlines like Pan Am and BOAC. A typical flight from Europe to Japan might start in London, stop in Frankfurt, Athens, Bahrain, Delhi, Bangkok and Hong Kong before finally reaching Tokyo. Airlines purposefully designed some air hostess uniform with short skirts, so they would ride up the thighs when putting luggage in the overhead lockers! XXX

Knowing our luck, we'd end up on BEA on short trips with one lay over a week! But we can dream.
Going back to that era it would have to be TWA as I like red uniform. Even if it means dealing with American businessmen I could make a few exceptions.

would you believe it was a Brownie dress that started my love affair with dressing when i was 7 lol all thanks to my mother and a fancy dress party x

I had a Saturday job in BHS and always hoped they'd make a mistake and issue me with the girls uniform.
I did try on my sisters guide uniform but it didn't feel girly enough!

Us larger TGirls are on a hiding to nothing when it comes to female uniforms, you can't get them in the larger sizes. I've gone to wartime re-enactment weekends for some years and would dearly like to go as a WREN or WAAF (WAAC uniforms are far too butch!) but I just have not been able to find a vintage or repro uniform anything near my size. I've had to go as a female civvy which is not the same. I can't even find male uniforms my size; I'm sure the war was fought by pygmies! I had to plump for an American major's outfit (they grow them a damn sight bigger over the pond). There are a few outfitters that make to measure but you are talking hundreds of pounds!

How about someone clever putting together a Transtastic outfit with items chosen from cheap outlets that also stock larger (ie OS) sizes. What a dash we would cut walking in formation at Sparkle and other similar events!

Trines - that sounds like a business plan. If I had any money I would invest in it.

I like the Native American Squaw outfit - the buckskin looks so nice. Ok not a uniform but you know what I mean.

Hiiiiiiii Ok? Im totally agree whit Andrea , air hostes yes i love them butno tlolley dollies iI the lw cost , NO PLEASE. I like the uniform in Jackie Brown "Quentin tarantino" , but i really enjoy whit vintage staff. Air hostess in concorde serving Moet or another Black wine even in plastic glasses , WHY NOT?. But my favorite one is the internacional rock and roll star looking for a new style in the pandoras box. Anybody know where is Pandoras box? jijijii Am i bored? xxxx

He was actually virgin. HE NEVER BEEN COOKING FOR GIRLS.Now he wont back to Internacional bussines school because in so tired jijijijij OH IS NOT A SWEET HEART? XXXX

I do have a terrible weakness for men in a uniform! I had an affair with a UN Swedish policeman in Cyprus in the 1970's.....I sometimes wore just his shirt in the bedroom for him!.....that was uber sexy!................that's Swedish policeman not chef by the way,I'm not a muppet!.......XXX

I've always fancied myself in the WRENS - trapped on-board with all those sailors !!

As an ex-serviceman I have always had a thing about female Military uniforms. During my time I did manage to "borrow" the odd item now and again but didn't keep any; not that they'd fit now of course
I much prefer the older uniforms from around the sixties and seventies because nowadays the uniforms are getting more unisex. In fact they're getting more uniform lol.

edited out the speeling mistooks.

Don't think my uniforms would go down too well !!

I've been chatting to a TV friend who has a collection of uniforms. Apparently she get most of them off eBay. She wouldn't say if they were authentic or not. The one time after she'd been out as a wren I did check the insignia and it was correct. I've no idea about brownies or guides uniforms but when I bought my daughters, you just give the size and order from the Guide Shop in London.
