Yep, either the exact same outfit or the same styles in specific, harmonious and sometimes assigned color variations (think polo shirts, sundresses, etc.) Outfits were specific to the last detail--shoe type, hair style, accessories (including color, type size and number of rings/earrings when it came to jewelry). Dress checks were held at least twice prior to formal recruitment to ensure both compliance and consistency and fines were assessed if you weren't prepared by the final check. Preference dresses were made (and altered if needed) by a single dressmaker...thankfully total was only 40-45 way back when in the mid 80s!
