Female Royal Artillery No. 1 Dress with the prescribed female jacket and blue-backed No. 4 ceremonial cords; ordinary and ceremonial belts, sash, gloves and sword furniture are separately selected.

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or No. 1 Dress Trousers. These are alternative outfits, not additional garments to wear together. Retain any rank, appointment, occasion and pattern conditions; select footwear and fittings to match the chosen legwear.

Fittings & Lead Times

Measurements are taken and fittings overseen by Geoffrey Golding at the St Albans workroom, with each garment checked throughout the making process for fit, balance, finish and correct detail. Lead time is typically 8-12 weeks, depending on workshop capacity, fitting requirements and the date required.
