Having read Annabelle's post, I can confirm that real uniform bits do indeed cost a fair amount. The retro policewoman as modelled by Hannah Zebedee looked great - but at a price.
The other problem with uniforms, particularly old style police ones, is that sellers are increasingly reluctant to sell badged items. That means that logos, buttons, etc are removed before sale. This adds further to the cost of items such as jackets where the buttons, numbers, badges all have to be bought as separate items - and then you need a kind lady to sew them all back on for you - mentioning no names of course !.
