The grey washable dress (Graues Waschkleid) was the basic duty dress of qualified nurses (Schwestern) in the German Red Cross sisterhoods. Its origins lie in Prussian regulations. A grey washable dress with white collar, cuffs, apron and cap was approved in 1907 for wartime nursing. A common service dress for Red Cross nurses followed in 1912. A service regulation valid from 1 January 1938 standardised the outfit for the DRK Schwesternschaften. The dress is a button-front garment in washable cotton, worn with a detachable white collar. It is combined with a white bib apron and a starched white cap (Haube) edged with a red embroidered Red Cross border. A round DRK brooch is worn at the collar, and a white armband with a red cross is worn on the sleeve. Period uniform plates show the short shoulder cape (Pelerine) as part of the peacetime grey-dress outfit. Auxiliary helpers (Helferinnen) wore a grey-and-white striped dress, so a plain grey dress points to the Schwester grade. Collectors look at the completeness of the set, the fabric and cut, the detachable collar, and the details of the cap border, brooch and armband.
