So I'm working on a young teens vintage dress and i came here to look for dating info on the label, but "Nadine Formals" isn't on the resource list.
Does anyone know of this designer or manufacturer? I just was curious about maybe the date of the dress. I know from the ILGWU info that it's before 1995, just wanted to know if anyone knew of Nadine Formals?
Thanks!

I know I have an ad from at least the early 60s on my other computer at my shop. They look like floofy 50s prom dresses, that late 50s early 60s style so I know they have been around for at least that long. Angie:)
 
In one newspaper database I found ads for Nadine Formals from 1955 through 1977. In a 1974 Ohio newspaper I found thie reference:

"Nadine Formals, a St. Louis manufacturer that specializes in prom dresses, reported increased sales of its classic long dress, which has 10 yards of ruffles in the skirt." and "...Milton Paris, regional manager for Nadine in New York."

In a 1977 Idaho newspaper I found reference to a court case:

"Bridal Originals, Inc., also known as Nadine Formals is seeking $999 from...alleging debt."
 
omg Jody! I think I HAVE that Rappi dress in the second ad! It's mine, I have had it for about 4 years, but it doesn't have a label. I'm pretty sure that's it! Only mine is muted red not pink.
 
They were first used in commerce in 1954, this is there trademark information. They filed in 1961, and they were registered in 1963. This can help you narrow down the date.
