We have a small lot of vintage, American Red Cross Volunteer Uniforms as worn by "Donut Dollies" during the 1960's and 70's. These are not easy to find these days and these are actually in human sizes. We will give the label sizes below as well as the chest size measured at the arm pit straight across and at the waist. These are the correct, vintage style zip front with patch pockets. Two have later style volunteer patches (most of the Vietnam era dresses have a round shoulder patch) and one has no patch at all, but still has the original tag on the zipper. These would be great to display or to wear to a living history event.
