At 63-ish and rather broad, I gave up looking for a khaki wartime battledress outfit to fit me.........I need a wartime size 18 (the largest made) and it would have been a tad tight...............talking of the latter, I wasnt prepared to buy an original (if I could find one) nor buy a repro of dubious quality and price............... So, with both Vidya and I proficient in tailoring and having the correct (original wartime) fabric and fittings available at the time, we simply made one to fit.......:o) We used a smaller original set of garments as a guide....... Looks okay I hope ? We didnt skimp on detail.................:o)
