If you e-mail me at: my VFG name at comcast.net I will send you an article with a little information. I am not certain I can post it here.

Good association, Carrie, as I forgot to note that this came from a January magazine, so we can assume it was a New Year's Eve dress. I would LOVE to find such a thing.

Good Thing It Wasn\'t the Year 2000 I don't know whether singer and actress Marion Hutton really wore this 1941 dress, but that would certainly be a short-lived fashion, wouldn't it?

Here you go...I think this is what you want: Sun Fashions of Hawaii

As you probably discovered, there are millions of hits on "Sun Fashions," but so far I found one 1957 ad that says: "I...just finished trying on some authentic Hawaiian fun clothes made in Honolulu...Seems to me the bracing warmth of the sun still lingers in these playtimers by SUN FASHIONS of...

That second link did it. Let me see what I can find about it.

I can see nothing on that page except the sweet item and ads on the right. What does the label say? Will you post the label photo here?

Do you have a photo of the label?

It is so exciting to read the continuing saga of your incredible find. So happy for you for your fantastic find!

My reaction is 30s, too. What does it say inside the shoe?

A quick search led me to only this 1968 article, which leads me to wonder if Lady Irene was a Sears brand...

Lord. I read this to my husband and when I was done I turned to him and said "They don't sell McDonald's hamburgers in styrofoam boxes anymore?" He just laughed and said I need to get out more. I guess THAT'S old.

From what I can see, what you have appears to be a scarf. The fact that the Reboux name is partially lopped off at the top of the label seems odd to me, though.

...and the label...

I cut-and-pasted the links and will post the images here...

An 1866 London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion with nice fashion color plates for reference.

From a history of the House of Worth to Flappers...A History of Feminine Fashion. Nice ads, too.

I only skimmed quickly through this online book about fashion and it looks like light reading, but as the author worked as a sketcher in Parisian fashion houses in the late 1920s I think Fashion is Spinach might be a fun fashion read. Here is a summary of the author's fashion highlights...

I have only done a cursory search for information about Vogel Co. and concentrated my search in NY papers, because of the NY label information. I have no way of knowing yet if this is your Vogel, but a 1929 NY Times noted the new incorporation of the J.C. Vogel Co., apparel--H.A. Dushkind, 66...

Love the great deep plum color on this very pretty outfit. I found only three ads that referenced Semone Frocks and they were from 1937-1939.

Lydia\'s Egyptian Flappers At an estate sale years ago I bought some simple works of art from a then-elderly local artist. In her youth (in the 1920s) Lydia apparently aspired to be a fashion illustrator, as I found many fashion-related art school projects of hers that were created to satisfy...

I was referring primarily to the 1960s ads. You will see that those are pay-per-view for each ad, but you are able to see a bit with the reference.

I found the ads by searching Google's news archives and there were many of them.

From Wikipedia...Mila Schon

Mila Schon--Italian-born fashion designer

The earliest references I found to American Tourister and Escort (and I don't know if this is the same Escort) was from 1961 to about 1970 when there was mention of American Tourister luggage and Escort hat boxes. I was not able to see the ads without paying for them, but the four references all...

A 1969 newspaper article about Vincent Mignon notes that he was the name that no one knew until the Nixons came along. The Nixon women, it noted, "...relied quite heavily on Mr. Mignon in the pre-Inaugural period." It further notes that Vincent and his brother John started the business with...

A 1989 Lord & Taylor ad invited readers to "Join us in welcoming Vincent Mignon, of Mignon Dresses, as he presents their magnificent collection of exquisite evening fashions."

--A 1966 newspaper mentions that Lester Paul was a misses' suits and ensembles division of the clothing manufacturer Lorch Westway Corporation. --The Lester Paul trademark registration was filed in December 1964. --Although there seem to have been Lorch Westway plants in diverse cities, it...

What a lucky little girl to be so loved. So sweet.
