Buttons on GPW Woman's Gimnasterka
Supposedly the buttons on a woman's gimnasterka were reversed from the man's version. Most all of the photos that I've seen seem to indicate that that was the case.
But I was recently looking at what was described as a WW II period woman's gimnasterka on which the buttons were not reversed. So how firm of a "rule" was this? In other words, was it fairly common for a woman's gimnasterka to button in the same way as the man's version? |

Re: Buttons on WW II Woman's Gimnasterka
Not a firm rule at all Bill.
I might be able to show some photos from collection of both types being utilized at a later time. BTW, often a gymnasterka is such a small size, originally or shrunken, that it is believed to be strictly for a woman...

Thanks, Richie.
That is pretty much what I thought, but I'm grateful to you for your insights. |
