marine corps evening dress uniform Original U.S. Pre-WWII US Marine Corps Named Officer's Evening Dress A – International Military AntiquesOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of a Pre WWII junior officers Evening Dress A uniform coat. It shows signs of moderate wear and is very ornately designed!

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of a Pre-WWII junior officer’s Evening Dress A uniform coat. It shows signs of moderate wear and is very ornately designed! The interior pocket label is named to a Lieutenant, but it is rather difficult to read but it appears to be Lt. Chris S. Baker, though our search results came up nil, making this a wonderful research opportunity!
Evening dress "A" For male officers, it consists of an evening coat with sleeve ornamentation, strip collar, white waistcoat, and white shirt with piqué bib. The stripe on the midnight-blue trousers is a thin red stripe inside a gold embroidered stripe. Female officers wear a mess jacket with scarlet collar, a white dress shirt, a red cummerbund, and a long skirt. Miniature medals and badges are worn.
Evening dress "B" is identical to Evening Dress "A" except men wear a scarlet waistcoat (general officers) or cummerbund (all other officers), and women may wear a short skirt. Miniature medals and badges are worn.
SNCO Evening Dress Male staff non-commissioned officers wear a semi-formfitting mess jacket with a black bow tie and sky blue trousers. Female SNCOs wear identically the same Evening Dress as female officers, minus the sleeve ornamentation and placement of rank. Both wear the jackets with historic 1890s-era rank insignia sewn on the sleeves. Miniature medals and badges are worn.
A blue boatcloak with a scarlet liner is optional. Junior officers not required to possess Evening Dress may substitute Blue or Blue-White dress "A". It is appropriate for such occasions as state functions, inaugural receptions and dinners, and formal dinners.
This is a wonderful uniform set in great condition. Nothing beats the regular enlisted Marine Dress Blues but the Evening Dress is a close runner up! All buttons but one appear to be present and as this is an evening dress they are purely ornamental. There is some fading present on all the bullion but there is no significant damage present on the exterior but there is stitching loss on the interior red lining.
This is a wonderful addition to any military uniform collection! Comes more than ready to be further research and displayed. Semper Fidelis Marines!
