this article could do with some more illustrations, if anyone has any
Illustrations would be nice, or photos. Also, how about some info on the Air Force service dress??
This article could do with some more information about dress uniforms outside the U.S. Isnt there a large variety of them in Europe? I know various regiments in Britain have fairly fancy ones, some with kilts even. 67.182.109.94 16:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
See military uniform for coverage of non-US dress uniforms.
While dress uniform article needs more illustrations a photo of a Swedish naval uniform does not seem to have any relevance to the existing content.
Well...I've added a chunk of text on British Army dress uniforms, if that's any help. Actually, most of the unique colourful uniforms the British Army was known for, especially the red tunics that had been worn by infantry regiments, are history, now. Aodhdubh 00:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't some Canadian regiments still wear Full Dress? GG's Foot Guards etc and some Canadian Scottish regiments... 202.89.155.157 11:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
It could also use some pictures of women in dress uniforms! Aren't there usually separate uniforms for men and women? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.134.169 ( talk) 18:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
The main article could be improved if there were a paragraph or two on dress uniforms in Latin America.
Were the military uniforms in the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid authentic representations of the outfits worn by the Bolivian Army? 216.99.219.135 ( talk) 06:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
The caption for the Israeli Vice Admiral at the bottom is erronous. An officer's rank is always worn on the bottom of the sleeve in the "Dress Blue" uniform. This is a standard for all navies. Shoulder boards are used on the shirt underneath and on the dress white uniform shirt and jacket. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.183.161.117 ( talk) 23:59, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Do RN or Commonwealth officers change into that uniform everyday before entering the mess, to take the normals meals or just on certain occasions?-- 109.91.72.35 ( talk) 00:29, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank goodness this article tells me how to convert words into acronyms... "Battle Dress (BD)", "Battle Dress Uniform (BDU)". I don't think I ever could have survived life without knowing the obsession people have with acronyms. — Preceding

The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. The history of the merged article is now at Full dress uniforms and the talk discussion mentioned below is at Talk:Full dress uniforms. Dekimasu よ! 22:25, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Dress uniform → Full dress uniform – Full dress uniform has now been merged with this article. However, conversely, the more suitably the final merged article name would be full dress uniform, in line with discussion as seen on Talk:Full dress uniform (inheriting its wikilinks). Perhaps this could even be a technical request if none minds. Chicbyaccident ( talk) 18:52, 20 December 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Calidum 05:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Please note: This is pretty much almost a simple technical rename request. The issue is arguably already pretty much settled in the preexisting Talk:Full dress uniform for this topic. Chicbyaccident ( talk) 12:27, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Do all variants of ther U.S. "dress blues" pertain to the dress code "full dress", thus full dress uniform? Are there no ones that in in fact more ressemble service dress uniforms? If so, should that be made clearer or even some contents moved to service dress uniform? PPEMES ( talk) 14:03, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
I have made a few amendments to the lede section of this article, where there appears to be some confusion between full dress and mess dress. The former generally refers to parade ground or other ceremonial attire and is quite distinct from the evening or mess dress worn for dinners, weddings, dances etc. Accordingly bow ties, dress shirts etc, while often part of the uniform for social occasions, would not be seen as part of full dress as defined in most modern armies and illustrated in this article. Buistr ( talk) 22:42, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
That section so far, only covers Number 1 Full Dress worn by the band. It would be helpful if the first line made it clear that the rest of the RM has Number 1A Regimental Blues Dress - 'Blues'. The text about Full dress could then be a separate paragraph in that section. -- Dreddmoto ( talk) 18:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
