Dorothy Lord?

[MimiD]

Just inquiring about the fashion label “ Dorothy Lord”, USA, apparently active 1950s to maybe 1960s. Also noted label with addition info at Boston 12 Newbury St. (Not Dorothy lord U.K.) Any information will be appreciated.

I found 1940's references to Dorothy Lord, a bridal consultant to Boston's Slattery's (department?) store. In 1949 the Boston Herald announced: "Dorothy Lord, well known bridal consultant, will open a new shop at 11 Newbury street, Back Bay, tomorrow." They added that the shop will carry everything for the bride and "dresses for guests will also be available."

A 1972 MA newspaper then announced a Going Out of Business sale from Dorothy Lord: "Next to Ritz Carlton Hotel, Boston Mass., One of Newbury Street's finest shops closes its doors forever."
