Auxilary Fire Service
Auxilary Territorial Service 
Red Cross Officers' Outdoor Uniform
Volunteer's uniform in the A.T.S.
Auxilary Air Force (Officer's Uniform)
Women's Voluntary Service
Land Army
From the archives of the Illustrated London News, here are some WWII uniforms for the women's auxilary service ("its members attend to cooking--their most important work---stewarding, all kinds of clerical work, motor driving, coding, and also serve as telephonists").
Some of these uniforms, and accessories, seem ready for re-issue by History Preservation Associates ("Linking You With the Past"). My personal favorite is the Land Army ensemble (buckets, brogues and breeks).

Okay, you need to watch "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" and shop from the second half. Deborah Kerr is smashing in uniform: http://media2.moma.org/collection_images/resized/160/w500h420/CRI_127160.jpg

Ahhhhh....right smack dab in the middle of my most coveted era.
Why does "Auxilary Air Force (Officer's Uniform)" looks so strangely UNITINU?
