I ran across an Oscar de La Renta peignoir and gown. Very Greek goddess. I'll post a label shortly. (Lizzie, feel free to post it in your resource).

Any info on a set like this or Oscar de La Renta vintage lingerie???

Thanks for any and all help!

Hi,
I have that label under de la Renta, but need to add it on the Swirl entry!

Anyway, a bit about Swirl and de la Renta from my website article:


In 1975 lingerie designer Bill Tice was hired as the designer at Swirl, where he had his own label. He remained with the company until 1984. During the last part of the 1970s, the fashion world was gripped by a surge of logo-mania. Designer jeans and logoed polo shirts and designers doing lingerie led Swirl to contract with Geoffrey Beene in 1977 to do a line for them. Soon, Oscar de la Renta was signed to do robes and nightgowns. The signing of de la Renta, led to a law suit by Tice, who claimed that the company was favoring de la Renta's loungewear over his, and that was a violation of his contract. He eventually left the company over the dispute.
