Florence Women’s Nightingale Costume

Description

The Lady with the Lamp

Back in the olden days, patients and wounded soldiers were out of luck. Doctors didn’t know how to practice proper hygiene (germs? What are those?) and the likelihood that you’d survive their “help” wasn’t so great. Enter Florence Nightingale, a woman ahead of her time with a passion for science and a head full of good ideas like, “Hey, maybe everyone should start washing their hands before tending to open wounds and pregnant mothers.” What a revolutionary thought! 

Product Details

Advance the practice of medicine when you wear your exclusive Florence Women’s Nightingale Costume! The old-fashioned black dress zips up the back and features a princess-cut bodice with yellow ruffles at the neckline and sleeve cloths. Slip the yellow broadcloth pinafore apron’s neckband over your head and tie its waist ties as desired. The white broadcloth arm band is printed with the Red Cross symbol and fastens with a hook and loop closure. The broadcloth hat stays in place thanks to elastic in its gathered edge. 

Angel of the Battlefield 

Here’s to heroic women everywhere who can champion great causes and get things done! If you love history, the medical field, or just want to dress up as an iconic figure, this costume is perfect for you. The best thing about it is that it will make you look authentic without requiring you to do any field work, so to speak. Amputating a leg without anesthesia sounds like it would be a very unpleasant experience.
