Uniform

[edit]

The uniform in the picture is clearly custom tailored -- note the way it fits her arms, neck and shoulders. It certainly isn't standard military issue in any army, and in those days, it is unlikely that any army had female uniforms off the rack. How did she get it? Who paid for it?68.5.46.193 (talk) 07:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@68.5.46.193: "In her first attempt at enlistment, she dressed as a man, cut her hair in a military style, wrapped her breasts, and wore a leather hat, attempting to look provincial. Though she managed to enlist, her feminine traits and holes in her ears[3] gave her away and she was exposed by a woman in the marketplace.[4]" Erick Soares3 (talk) 20:32, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
