After the Second World War, individual Commonwealth nations developed their Battle Dress uniform into both a parade and a field uniform. Canada began to develop other uniforms, notably Bush Dress in the late 1940s, though Battle Dress still remained on inventory as a field uniform. The British introduced a British Pattern 1949 Battle Dress into their Army, and several changes to their Battle Dress were made after the Second World War. Broad lapels were added to the Battle Dress Blouse, giving it an open-collar design similar to Canadian 1949 Pattern. Buttons on the pockets remained exposed, though a fly front was restored to 1949 Pattern BD. The trousers were also altered. 5 Canada only widely produced one more version of Battle Dress after the war, though some minor differences in interim patterns will be found in a limited number of garments. Pattern 1949 Battle Dress had broad lapels added to the Battle Dress Blouse, giving it an open-collar design. As well, the back on 1949 Pattern BD Blouses were generally one piece; wartime battle dress blouses had a vertical seam down the back. A tan shirt was issued to be worn with a black necktie by Other Ranks. Some use was made of older Khaki Drill shirts as an interim measure. The First Field Dressing was also removed from the trousers after the war. Battle Dress continued to be worn as a field uniform during the Korean War and up to the introduction of Combat Dress. It was retained for dress wear up until Unification of the Armed Forces, and into the 1970s by some Reserve units.
