50s Adele Simpson Silk Taffeta Party Dress X-Small 34b/24w
Stunning! Adele Simpson started her career as a designer at Ben Gershal in 1927. Her sister was employed there, and Gershal hired Adele after asking her sister who made her dresses. In 1942 she went to work at Mary Lee, where she worked under her own name by 1944. She purchased the company in 1949 and remamed it Adele Simpson, Inc. (Information courtesy Vintage Fashion Guild)
