During the Crimean War (1853-1856), nurses typically wore long, modest dresses with a full skirt, often in dark colors, along with white aprons and caps. The iconic image of nurses from this period is largely attributed to Florence Nightingale, who advocated for cleanliness and proper hygiene. Many nurses also wore a red cross on their uniforms, symbolizing their role in providing care to wounded soldiers. Their attire was practical for the challenging conditions they faced in hospitals and on the battlefield.
