This is a vintage candy striper costume by Charades, size medium. The costume is in excellent condition with no rips, stains, or tears. This costume is not the traditional candy striper uniform. If you need a candy striper costume for a melodrama, this would fit the bill.
Candy stripers were hospital volunteers, usually young women, assigned the task of boosting patient morale in the 1960s through 1980s. They also took over small tasks normally assigned to nurses, such as delivering meals, providing patients with audio visual equipment and handing out packages, flowers and mail.
