It's nice to meet you!:hiya:
Oh, the wonderful world of ebay.. it is a law unto itself, that's true. You'll have to put a link to your auctions - good advertising, as you seem to have some very nice things :)
ooh, it sounds lovely!
I'm sure someone else will know more about the label- I sold one a while back which I'm sure was a Gene Shelly one but the label had come out :(

Struggle with conscience (and bank balance) ensues....
Will probably list it in a few weeks once I convince myself that having not worn a suit for over 4...
I have a few bikinis by Nelbarden, and know that they were (are?) a longstanding British swimwear manufacturer.
I just can't find out anything more! Just wondered if anyone had any or had come across any more information (eg date established, which I cannot find!) TIA :)
Here's a NOS...

Will add pictures as I do them, but first is this pretty silk party dress:

Heehee - here's another Harriet submission (I like that! :D)
