Hi ya'll! I have a amazing 50's cocktail dress with some labels that I thought sounded familiar until I tried to look them up with no luck, it has 2, the first reads "Bernice Motly" (may be Molty or Motty) distinctive clothes and the second "Nathan Strong" anyone have info or history related to these would be great!
Thanks!

I LOVE Nathan Strong dresses! Have only had one, but it was of such great quality and the style and fabric were wonderful! Off the top of my head, I don't recall much about the label, but when you see the pieces, which are not exceptionally common, they are always very chic and look to be on the higher end of the vintage spectrum in terms of quality. I'll check to see if I still have any info from when I listed my dress (but I don't think I do). The name is not in our label resource, but I'm sure I must have come across something at the time.....

I'm assuming that Bernice Motty/Molty was a dress shop--probably a small privately owned shop that would sew its own label into the clothing it carried.
