Oh yes! Hair is tied back, low enough so I can get the hat on, but off the collar of the jacket, hat is the correct level. Skirt is calf length, shoes (steel toe caps) are polished, black tights. All to the standards set out by HQ! Unlike one of the other girls who turns up for duties like it's a fashion parade

We have to get her to tuck her shirt of her greens in and everything, she doesn't seem to realise that she's actually representing SJA as well.
That uniform is the "Number 1" dress we wear for civic parades, remembrance sunday etc. At least this year they stuck us behind the RAF (all 3 of them). One year they put us behind the brownies ffs lol So we're there trying to march in the parade, properly, behind a load of little kids who kept stopping and starting for no apparent reason. I'd been in parades, as part of a marching band, for years though so found it quite frustrating.
