The service summer uniform consisted of two-piece including a blouse and skirt made of green and white striped material, originally Plisse Crepe but later replaced by Seersucker. (A thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped and very common for summer clothing.)

The jacket had shoulders straps of same material, each fastened by a single button. Buttons for the jacket were white bone or composite.

Headwear for the summer service uniform was initially the Service “Bucket” cover, which was replaced in 1944 by the Summer Garrison Cap.

The handbag was the spruce green cover and shoulder strap.
