Thanks everyone! You are echoing my thoughts, as well!!

It is not lined, but it is hand made. Silk backed Sari silk, gossamer weight. No labels. I'm sure it was part of a set. I believe it to be bespoke, or designer, because everything thing else from the 50's at the estate sale was high quality. I found a 50's Dior garter belt, at Tina Leser silk...

I know this is a long shot, does anyone think this resembles a certain designer's work? It has a Clair zipper, so I think it's French. It's made from Sari silk, with little peacocks on it. All the other garments at the estate sale sale were high quality, with a handful of long forgotten...

Thank you Sandy! It's a rayon, with the shantung weave.

Thanks everyone!!

Does anyone have any information on Audrey's line? I think this top is 50's, but I can't be certain! Thank you! Sincerely, Sandi

A similar pair sold in the early 90's, here in Portland. 91-93ish. I hope that helps! Sandi

I liked that label! They were usually well made, and had an edgier design.

Fixed! Yay!

Not sure if this is the correct spot for this. Anyone heard of, or seen this label before? Untitled by Lorrel Mae, on Flickr Untitled by Lorrel Mae, on Flickr Untitled by Lorrel Mae, on Flickr Thank you! Sandi

There was a guy who sold them at Saturday Market, here in Portland, in the 80's. A guy in Eugene (?) sells them also, who worked with him. (I don't know if he sold them in the 70's, I just remember them in the 80's.)

Hi Sandy! My next mannequin is going to be a collapsible shoulders dress form, preferably 50's. I am tired of having to fight getting dresses over the shoulders! Wolf Form co has a knob at the top of theirs. http://www.wolfform.com Sandi

Thank you! I believe those are exactly what I was looking for! I'll search a little more, see if I can come up with an image. Sandi
