Was Priscilla's Boutique part of Priscilla of Boston?

[DaisyandStella]

Hi!
I have a 1970s wedding dress labeled "Priscilla's Boutique".
The font and gold lettering look almost identical to the last label shown for Priscilla of Boston in your label resources, however, I want to make sure before posting the dress as a Priscilla of Boston.

Any help would be great, thanks much!
Brooke

A 1977 Dun & Bradstreet report notes that Priscilla C. Kidder was the president of Priscilla Boutique (note that your label says Priscilla, not Priscilla's) and the company products were wedding gowns, bridesmaids' dresses, and wedding millinery. A 2003 New York Times obit reported that Priscilla Comins Kidder "...rose to prominence as Priscilla of Boston, outiftting young brides as their numbers soared after World War II."

Also, the 1971 article linked to below, about Priscilla Kidder and Priscilla of Boston, refers to the "...new division, Priscilla Boutique, 'for the girl with great taste on a limited budget."

Here are links to resources that connect the two lines:
