Anyone know anything about Nelly Don?

[ehappy]

Any company history or something of that nature? I have this dress, which I believe to be 50's or early 60's but just want to learn a bit more about the company before I list.

Has matching bolero...

Thanks!

Hi Angie, Nelly Donnelly was Nelly Don. Look here on the label resource. There's a great website too, I'll see if I can find it.

Last July I sold a Nelly Don dress to a lady in Kansas who was helping organize a museum exhibition on Nelly Don. Here is a picture of the dress I sold her and also of her and a fellow museum employee and friend of hers both dressed in Nelly Don dresses. I've also posted a picture of Nelly Don that I found on the internet.

Her nephew often buys her dresses on eBay....cant remember his ID......the site mentions it, but they did a movie about her life that sounds really interesting. I had a lady here in the shop who had been to the museum and the premier. I'd love to see it myself! Ang

Brenda, thank you :spin: that's me.

Hi Angie,
I'm so glad you asked about Nelly Don. I have some of her dresses now and have had several over the years. It's pretty cool that she was a Kansan!
