The US WW2 A-Class Women’s Officers Skirt OD 51 is a reproduction of the skirt worn as part of the A-Class service uniform of female officers in the United States Army during World War II.
This skirt was worn by women serving in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and other military support branches. The design features a classic A-line cut, typical of 1940s military women’s uniforms.
The skirt closes with a side zipper and button, providing a clean and authentic appearance. The colour Olive Drab 51 (OD 51) was a standard shade used in US Army service uniforms and was commonly worn with a service jacket, blouse and tie.
This skirt is ideal for:
-
WW2 reenactment
-
living history events
-
museum displays
-
historical collections
The skirt is delivered new and may show light creases from packaging and transport. This is normal for uniform garments. A light press with a damp cloth will quickly restore the proper neat military appearance.

Historische Context
During World War II the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) became an important part of the United States Army. Female personnel performed thousands of essential roles including administration, communications, logistics and transport.
The A-Class service uniform was the official uniform worn for formal duties, parades and service situations. For female personnel this uniform commonly consisted of a service jacket, blouse and skirt such as this model.
The colour Olive Drab 51 was widely used for US Army service uniforms and became a recognizable element of the American military appearance during the war.
Today these uniform items are widely used in historical reenactments, museum exhibitions and living history events that portray the role of women in the US Army during the Second World War.
