Harold Levine \'boutique\'

I have a (late 70s or 80s? maybe even newer?... will add pics shortly as am doing them now) dress labelled Harold Levine.

It's nicely made, lined in silk crepe. Can find out nothing so just thought I'd ask if the name was familiar?

Thanks!

Harriet, it is familiar to me, but for the life of me, I can't remember
why. Maybe another coffee will help.

Thanks Sue! Here are the pictures incase they help jog your memory (or anyone else's!)



Label (how modern is that dry cleaning tag - 80s or even 90s?)

Okay, I have had a Harold Levine. Let me go check and will be right back.

Pooh, I can't find it.

Harriet, that dress is lovely. I want to say late 60s.

Thanks Linda - I am really confused by it!

It has a nylon zipper, and the illusion sweetheart front is dipped right to the waist internally. I initially thought it was late 60s too but was confused by the dry clean tag, looked later?

I don't know when they started to use the colourful ILGWU label?

Well... I found this little bit - "Or there was an evening dress, also scoop-necked and full-sleeved, with a vaguely Empire shape and wide black-satin ribbons lacing it together at the top, by Don Breitigger for Harold Levine. " at this site for 1971.

Stunning dress, Harriet! I have some colourful union labels from the 70s if that's any help.
