Specification

Gender

Female

Rank

Dead-silver rank according to substantive rank; Bath stars are 5/8 inch.

Buttons

Medium dead-silver officer buttons, rather than large anodised stock.

Equipment

Sam Browne belt and brown leather sword knot when sword carriage is ordered. The khaki cap is for Undress without leather equipment.

Footwear

Brown Service shoes on parade; court shoes where permitted.

Lanyard

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or Service 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.
