I have not forgotten the blog!!! I need to get that out of the way. I'm still working on the November paper doll but things came up. Specifically, commissions that I'm working on. So it's not a *bad* thing that I've been busy. It's just the blog that suffers!! I plan on finishing out the entire year of the doodle-a-day outfits and if it spills into January, so be it I guess.
Anyway....Today I'm posting the November collaboration. We decided with November to go with a military theme. And I thought, since it's the 100th anniversary of World War I, I'd create uniforms from that era.
On the left is the US Navy Reserves Women's Yeoman uniform. I found two images:
one is from the Met and the other is from a
Navy history site. The article on the Met site is really interesting & I recommend reading it. Apparently, the Navy didn't have gender exclusionary language so women started enlisting! And a Yeoman was a secretary type position.
On the right is the uniform for the US Motor Corps. For this, I found another
image at the Met website. The Motor Corps was a way for women to participate in the war efforts and, again, it's a pretty fascinating subject.
