Ladies of the Regiment Reenacting Women of the 1940's

HOME

A Message from one of the Divisional Ladies

Well ladies, many of you may feel just like me.  I got tired of our men having so much fun and ease in finding 1940's clothing and information for our WWII reenacting.  So I went on a search and found some great sites on clothing, shoes, hair and so on.  It's our turn to shine. I hope you gals get some use out of these websites.  If any of the ladies out there have some more great websites on the 1940's or women in WWII, please feel free to email me Michaela at  311woman@pacbell.net this site will be updated as more info becomes available.  Like Rosie the Riveter, "We Can Do It".                                                                                                 Michaela,  January 2004.

Sit Down, Relax, and have some Fun!

For the "fingerwaves and rolls" Check your local beauty supply stores.  I found clamps (for the waves) and "rats" for the rolls there.
