Details about Kathryn Kuhn?

[Sam001]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and currently my collection is fairly small.
I have recently come across a little bit of info about Kathryn Kuhn in my research/perusing. She did a few early ballroom dance dresses that are just gorgeous. But I looked here and there is no information about her label at all. There are also only a handful of recent sales online, so its not clear how much I should expect to pay for one (assuming I can find one). Is this something that is very rare, or just not interesting to most people?
Does anyone know anything more about her at all?

Does anyone know anything more about her at all?

A 1979 obit for Kuhn noted that she "started her career as a private dressmaker in 1911." It added that she designed costumes for Broadway shows, the Ziegfeld Follies, Sonja Henie ice shows, etc. Finally, it noted that she "stopped working on shows in 1948, because she felt it was too much of a gamble" and "from then on, until she retired in 1967, she devoted herself to her private clients, often embroidering, beading, or appliqueing plain fabrics, to make it impossible for anyone to duplicate them."
