doctor, doctor give me the news

Last Saturday at work we all dressed up to raise money for charity, there was a medical theme, as the money went towards buying equipment in local hospitals. So I decided to go for an early 1900's style nurse. Of course I started my quest for inspiration on the Internet and found some exciting stuff.

So after some good thrfting and scouring the plentiful vintage stock of Leeds I found a long navy blue skirt with big open pockets on either side from Mad Elizabeth Vintage and a white blouse with a little bit of detail, but was still smart enough for a uniform in All American Vintage. I made the apron, cape and hat myself. (The only thing i ailed to find was a good pair of shoes to match the rest of the outfit.)

It was a lovely day full of generous people and I won the competition for best costume, yey me.
