Thank you so much for sharing that info with us. I knew that name sounded familiar and realized I had a scan saved on my computer from one of my vintage magazines of a dress by Rudolf. March Vogue 1959.
Would have guessed 1930s. It's very cool. Not sure how I'd go about getting out those yellow stains, unless you can test the fabric somewhere to see if it's colorfast and can hand wash it. Even then, without knowing what the stain is from, it will be tricky.

Thank you, Linn. And that photo of the Cartier emerald brooch that is in the portrait is beyond stunning. I read somewhere that it was one of Marjorie's favorite pieces. Not surprising.
On September 30 Hillwood Museum is putting on a garden party to debut Marjorie's fall/winter fashion...
Thanks! I definitely want to get that book. I wish I had picked it up that day at the museum gift shop, but it was so crowded there and we were running late. But am looking forward to reading it.
Just got around to editing the rest of the photos from my visit to Hillwood Mansion. In my blog post I've included pix of the mansion interior and grounds, along with some other pieces of her wardrobe which are one display inside.
Have a look...
Wow! That is great news, Liza. Wish I could join you, but I'm still in New England. But a trip to Atlanta sounds like fun and what better reason than to see a beautiful fashion exhibit and meet up with another VFG member? Used to visit Atlanta pretty frequently. Will have to try and get up...
