L\'Aiglon dresses

I love these L'Aiglon dresses. Somewhere I have some vintage magazines with L'Aiglon ads that state "in a fine department store near you". Was going to try to find the mags before I listed the dresses, but they are tucked away in a box behind a bunch of other boxes and I knew that if I spent the time looking for them, I wouldn't get them listed in time for this month's VTA...

Now these three dresses have been in my own closet for many years - just have not had an opportunity to wear them. Now I'm in the midst of a mini-purge and have decided that these should have a new home...

Windowpane plaid dress

The plaid dress is in my mall store. Fluff (the cat) is not for sale - LOL!

I like this label because the styling is classic and tailored. And even though all of these dresses are from the mid-60's, I think they have a timeless quality about them and could be easily worn today.

I love the second one Carol. All nice, but for some reason i like the second one best, but all are great.

Are you putting the first two on ebay?
 
Yes! the two floral dresses are on ebay for the tail end of May's VTA theme "everything's coming up roses". auctions end Tuesday night.
 
Carol, when I was going through my early 40s Mademoiselle's for Lin's
Mary Muffet ads I saw several ads for L'Aiglon dresses. I'll check some of my late 50s mags/early 60s to see if I can find any ads for you (I don't have many mags of this era though).

For the longest time I would find L'Aiglon dresses and I thought they were modern dresses with vintage style.
I must've seen one a week for the longest time. But they were so perfect that they just didn't seem vintage!

Argh. When I think of what I passed up....
 
Yeah, I've got some photo shoot spreads of their stuff, and a 60s 'L'aiglon by Dauphine' but still no clue about where they originated... We could at least put all the labels up? 'Popular and cute wholesale dressmaker'?
 
Kristine, I also saw a lot of L'Aiglon stuff in the thrifts several years ago and I think most of it was 80s (even 90s?) which I passed up. I haven't ever seen an older L'Aiglon label in the thrifts, but obviously this
company was around for a long time.

Gosh, I have learned something and these are great dresses!
 
It is "vintage themed auctions" on ebay and "vintage themed apparel at the vc-mall. participants group market and lists items by theme. May was "everything's coming up roses" (floral theme)

Nice to see you again, too!

Thanks Chris!

I'm dying to find time to discover more'n'more about VFG!! (....it just gets better and better!!) I've been selling vintage on eBay for a few years now...sometimes a bit of a lonely venture...little did I know there was a whole community of interesting, fun & smart people to keep company with!!!

My kids are about to come home from school so my educational/play-time is almost over for today. I'm looking forward to logging in again while I work from home!!

Also, I was doing a search for L'Aiglon on ebay and noticed someone selling in their store an ad from a 1921 mag for L'Aiglon dresses...

Here is the information the researcher sent me, asking about further info re: L'Aiglon.

Joseph Biberman founded and ran Biberman Brothers / L'aiglon Dresses until his suicide in 1933. His son, Edward Biberman became a reknowned artist
 
Here is one I sold last year that I saved pics of.
