Helen Kennedy - Continental Couture

[Puddingbelly]

I have this lovely old dress but can't find anything out about it! Has anyone ever heard of this designer?

Thanks in advance

I found only a couple of small references to Kennedy, but it may give you a clue to a time frame. The first reference here is from a 1981 British phone book and the second one is a telephone number from a Google search.

I know it’s been a long time since you posted it. But this dress was made by my grandmother. She ran a couture dress making business in Leeds. She was trained by Dior in the 30s. She made dresses for a variety of famous women.
