Need some help please. Hubbard Woods Illinois.

This exquisite dress has a label I can find little about.

No label in the label resource but seems very high end to me.

Early 1970s Chiffon? or earlier as it seems she was designing earlier.

Would love to know more about this designer. Art Deco vibe.

Thanks. Sandy

Thank you both. I ran across those links earlier Lynne.

Nice dress Bonnie. Still researching.

She lived from 1900 to 2007 from my research also.
 
How adorable. That logo in on a powder box and playing cards links that Lynne added.

So I would assume by the design that label came before the label on my dress? or the other way around.

That must of been a swell place for ladies to hang out back then.

Northbrook Court represents the first venture into the Chicago market by Neiman-Marcus, the Texas-Based merchandiser. The center will contain such fashion merchandisers as Stanley Korshak and McElroy Furs, and Ruth McCulloch, also located in Hubbard Woods.

According to Lynne's research:

"Her logo, with the old-fashioned image a young woman in a broad-rimmed hat, was present from the beginning and did not change through the years. It was used on all advertising and products." So, I am assuming your able is more recent, after the store had closed in Evanston.
