In April 2012, I shared with you
a post about a dress that was worn on Mad Men during season 5.
I had the
identical dress for sale at Couture Allure at the time. I knew it was a high end dress, but it only had a label from the store that sold it, Galosy's.
This morning, the mystery is solved. The dress was designed by Malcolm Starr in 1967. "Dress for dreams: royal blue cuffed in a rainbow of paillettes, wooden beads, crystals. By Malcolm Starr, in William Rose fabric of Celanese rayon, worsted and silk. $265." That's about $1,848 in today's dollar and the dress would be worth every penny if you could find anything remotely as well made today. Stockings by Dior, shoes by Julianelli.
