Pave de Paris Dress

[Lianne]

Hi,
I’m trying to get some information about the Pave de Paris clothing line. I would also like some help with dating this dress. Thank you.

I looked up the CA registration number, and Pave de Paris was a line produced by the Dolman Dress Co., of Montreal. I found references for that company dating back to 1936. Their Pave de Paris line was registered in June 1974 and listed as abandoned in 1989. The dress has the international care symbols, which were standardized in Canada in 1973, and the Canadian ILGWU tag was in use from 1968 to 1984. So mid 70s sounds good.

I have this dress by them which is using fabric made in France. Thanks, Jonathan, for all that info.

I had a quick nose around about the fabric company - Les Tissus Marcel Blanc - seems they were in operation from 1954 until 2009.
