Did you work in a uniform?

I've often had to wear a uniform ~ in the trillions of jobs I had during teens and student years. None were remotely stylish but it helped the customers work out who were staff I guess.
And when I worked on the conveyor belts in the factory, it identified those who were students. The staff in the factory wore different colour/style of overalls so we knew their rolls and seniority. I found it quite helpful really. Also I'm glad I didn't have to wear my own clothes. These were hard to come by (as in short of cash) and often made by me ~ so I didn't want to be getting random sundry gunk /dirt on them.

I too worked in a bank. They brought out ‘uniforms’ in the late 90’s I think it was, but was called ‘corporate wear’, not sure why.

No matter, we all spoke about our ‘uniforms’. I think we got new ones about every two to three years, but the time between allocations seemed to str.....etch out as time went by.

Sorry, pressed Send too soon!

I also did aseptic work, for which I had to get gowned up with gloves, hair covering and a mask. In that respect, CV is like o,d times for me.

I don’t know if it counts as a uniform but I was a hospital technician and always wore a white coat.

We each had our own coats with our names in and they were washed by the hospital laundry on a weekly basis. They had detachable buttons which we removed before sending them down the laundry. They came back starched to within an inch of their lives, you could scarcely bend you arms at first!

Fabulous air stewardesses were so glamorous and well groomed. It must have been a very exciting life if quite hard work I imagine.
I was a nurse -not at the time of starched aprons but the blue check, red belt and hat with thick blue stripe once I qualified. Navy dress once I became a District Nurse (small navy pill box hat and navy coat) and then a Ward Sister (frilly white cap). As an Infection Control Nurse it was a white coat for clinical work and a business suit for office work.Later on as a Consultant Nurse I had a navy dress with small white dots on it. After that business suits until I retired which was a kind of uniform. Once I retired I found choosing clothes difficult - its was so easy to put on the 'uniform' whatever it was at the time.
Thank you for thinking of this thread.

Oh Liz I remember those sashes.
Obviously the "higher ups" never gave a thought to double meanings!
Hope you invented some suitable retorts.

I wore a bank uniform. When Access (now MasterCard) first came out, the women had to wear a sash across their chests which said ‘Access your flexible friend’. The male customers were very inventive with their comments!

The male staff did not have to wear them.

It was British European Airways in the days when we did Europe and the Middle East.
BOAC (as it was then) did long haul to USA etc.

That sounds lovely grannysue ( was it BA?)
I shall read the posts with interest, but have never had to work in a uniform so can’t add to it.
