Can\'t find info on 1980s dress manufacturer

Hello!

I have a dress from the 1980s with a label identifying the manufacturer as Cinnamon. I can't find any information about this company.

Help!

Thanks.

I do not think this will help you much but it is a start. I remember having a dress with that brand but with a name like "cinnamon" it is hard to find exact information. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

Elsewhere and indifriend~

Thank you both for taking the time to respond to my query. I especially appreciate the info you came up with for me, indifriend; as you said, it's a start, and one that I will follow up on.

I'll report back if I find anything substantive!

Thanks again.

hi pat,

i wouldn't spend much time on it, honestly. there have been a zillion manufacturers over the years - large, small, and inbetween.

unless it's a big name designer, info on the manufacturer really doesn't matter. all that matters is the cuteness or beauty, and accurately dating it.
 
Good point, Joan! I know I'm OCD about many things, including researching the strangest topics for hours...

I'm somewhat vague on the date of the dress. It was mine, but I honestly don't know if it goes back to the early or late '80s. It's what I think is called a "secretary's dress"--blouson top, mock-T collar, elastic waist with detached same-fabric belt, and a separate (but attached) "bib-like" (sorry... I don't know the correct term) piece of fabric (again, same as the body of the dress) that starts at the shoulder seams and falls in "waves" to the pointed bottom, which ends a little bit above the waist. I've seen similar styles that were identified as from the '80s; and I guess there's no reason why I have to be any more specific than that.

It's only a size 4, and you'd think I'd remember the last time I was that tiny - hehe - but the '80s were when my kids were born, and that decade just flew by!

Anyway, thanks for putting things into perspective for me! *takes deep breath*

Pat, you can see from the information above that your dress can not be earlier than early 1989, so that should make it a bit easier. If you post images, we may be able to help you with style etc.

Oh, that's right, Nicole! I forgot about the registration dates--none earlier than 1989.

I'll try to get a couple of pics posted over the weekend.

Thanks.

Here I am! Computer was down for over a week.:( I felt lost, out of sorts, depressed... it was Not Pretty.

I will do my best to get some photos posted next week, once I've gotten caught up on all my other "on hold" computer stuff. I finally learned how to upload pics from my camera to the computer, without having to "bother" my eye-rolling son for help.:clapping:
