Nostalgia and vintage are all the rage right now, which is why we stock such a wide selection of 1940s wartime costumes for adults and children.

Our quality costumes include a range of military uniforms which are just like the real thing, from private soldier to naval seaman, air force officer and even a member of “Dad’s Army” (the Home Guard). We’ve got these in the female equivalent too, because as we all know, women played an extremely important role in the WW2 armed forces.

One of our most popular wartime fancy dress costumes is the Land Girl outfit, complete with khaki calf-length dungarees, top and headscarf. Wear it to pay tribute to those hard-working young women who kept the farms and forestry going during the war years and beyond.

Our catalogue of wartime characters wouldn’t be complete without including a set of outfits for girl and boy evacuees, complete with shoulder satchel, all ready to be shipped off to relative safety in the countryside.

Top it all off with a beautifully styled wig featuring pin curls and victory rolls – the height of fashion in the 1940s.

Despite the stress and hardship, wartime was a glamorous era which our 1940s costume selection allows you to relive and remember, whether you’re dressing up for a themed occasion, amateur dramatics, a remembrance event or just because you want to.
