Soviet Girl's School Uniform: Elements ans Detailing


Figure 1.--Here we see a close up of the different elements of the girls' school uniform and the detailing. Notice the Lenin Pioneer badge.

This uniform here is composed of a blue dress, white pinafore, red Pioneer scarfe, and Pioneer badge with Lenin’s portrait. These componens were obligatory at the time. The dress was a blended 50 percent wool fabric. The scarfe was silk. Sizes of uniform: length of the dress – 40.5 inch; dimensions dress from right to left shoulder – 17 inches; length of the arms – 23 inches. I'm not sure what size child that would have been. I don't think that there was a required cap, but girls often wore large white hair bows. The girl probably would have worn it with white kneesocks. I believe this same uniform was worn by both primary and secondary children.
