I'm looking at getting a reproduction 'munitionette' uniform made for a display - does anyone know of where I may find, or better yet have any themselves, patterns for the manufacturer of a munition worker's uniform? I'm aware there is no doubt several different types of uniform (variations between factories etc etc) but would be interested to see what is out there

Thanks, Rob

Rob,
Here is a selection of WW1 female munitions workers photographs, I hope they are of assistance to your project.
Regards,
LF

Rob, the IWM in Lambeth have some originals on display if you need some guide to colours, etc.  Unlike many museums the're also OK with you taking pictures
