Anyone heard of Universal Clothing?

Hi Vintage lovers, I found this wool dress at an op shop in Australia with the label “Pretty Girl by Universal Clothing”. I haven’t had any luck finding more information on the company or brand or any other dresses by them. I wondered whether they have a connection to Universal Studios given the similarities in the logo design eg. a simple world symbol. I’d love any more information. Thanks

From a newspapers.com search it looks like there have been several Universal Clothing companies around the world, but I imagine the most likely is one that was in Sydney, at 841 George Street ("next to Marcus Clarks") in the 1950s and 60s. It looks like they may have ceased production about 1965.
