I looked at the websites for several costume shops and contacted a couple, but they either don’t have an authentic WW1 uniform or they are too expensive, far away or won’t be able to get it before Friday. I have therefore constructed a relatively realistic army uniform. Thankfully, Ernest won’t be wearing one and the Officer is off screen pretty much all the time, so you won’t really see him (hopefully). In terms of Rose's costume, there's not much I can do towards it until I get to Norwich and put something together out of Helen's clothes. I've done some research into WW1 female dress, as seen below, so I know what I'm looking for.
Here are some pictures of the makeshift Officer's uniform:
Just used a green suit, with a greeny/black tie, white shirt and black coat. Hopefully the lapels will show slightly so it looks like a proper uniform e.g.
Unfortunately couldn't get a hat, but hopefully won't either a) have that in shot or b) it will be believable that he could not have worn it for whatever reason. The coat is inspired by the Tommy trench coat, e.g.
But as he’s an Officer, it’s likely to have been a little more up market.
Looking at Ernest, he's wearing a simple white t-shirt/vest/trousers combo with army inspired, but not actual army boots. He will have picked these up at some point in France when on the run. Here's his costume (sorry about dodgy quality):
