You Are Needed Now, the posters proclaimed. Join the Army Nurse Corps. And so they did: Over 59,000 American women signed up to serve their country in the war effort. Some joined expecting to experience the romance and adventure of war in faraway places while working to save lives. Many more quickly learned war's harsh realities -- and that their own lives could also be in danger.The Army nurses of World War II served in the United States and abroad, in dense jungles, war-torn villages, and on barren ice fields. Many encountered hardships: bombings, crude living conditions, inadequate food. They also experienced the frustration of receiving lesser pay and privileges than their male counterparts as they worked, sometimes around the clock, to treat the wounded while confronting air raids, the threat of invasion, and capture by the enemy.
Nonetheless, in additon to their devotion to saving lives, some of the most important things the nurses brought to their units were courage and cheer. From holiday parties in makeshift hospitals to fudge making and softball games amid the grueling conditions of war, these angels of mercy brought light -- and life -- to the American forces of World War II

Sized Up, Still great!
My son typically requires a 3x TALL, so I sized up one (4x) but had it gone to a 5x that might have been even better. For reference he is 6 foot tall, 300 lbs, and very broad shouldered (think lineman 🤣) However, the quality and print were so great! He opted for a chain instead of the bowtie because he did a bow tie last year, but that was decent as well. For the price, this is a GREAT buy.

Solid tuxedo tied included
Color: Red, Size: Medium
It looks so sharp! Sleeves were too long for my son but they were on his jacket last year too. It comes with a solid already tied tuxedo tie.

Fits great and looks amazing
Color: Black, Size: Small
This tuxedo jacket is definitely worth the price. I bought this for my son and the size, sleeve length and cut were perfect. We used the size guide and it was spot on. The jacket doesn’t wrinkle easy and is such a beautiful print on the jacket.

Quality & fit (medium for tall slim build)
Color: Wine Red, Size: Medium
Ordered for prom instead of paying $250 to rent nearly the exact same suit at a local store. I ordered a Medium after the Large was too boxy on my son (6'1", 145lbs). Medium was perfect fit. He loved the look and quality. Very pleased. Returning the large jacket was easy as well. Highly recommend to others needing a jacket for prom, wedding, etc.

Great Quality
Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium
My son gave a one day notice that he was attending the prom so I frantically searched for something nice to wear. I did not know what size to get because his measurements do not match the measurements provided by the seller. He is 5’6” and weighs 154. He has a thicker build. After reading several reviews my husband and I decided on size small, however, Amazon told me I should get size medium. I should have chosen size small because this medium is a little too big by probably an inch and a half in both the front and back. We did not have time to alter the jacket, but fortunately, it still fit well.
I am so grateful for Amazon Prime overnight shipping. I also bought his shirt, tie, shoes, and mask from Amazon. The jacket arrived folded in a little zip bag. I was surprised that it wasn’t wrinkled; it only had a few creases that needed to be ironed/steamed out. The jacket is excellent quality and looks the same as the advertised photos. I am very pleased with this last minute desperate purchase!
