It is terribly sad that there are so few clothes made in America any more, especially since those dresses are all terribly cute!Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-1596404968914549822011-09-30T11:09:18.046-04:002011-09-30T11:09:18.046-04:00That's funny (at least in hind sight).

Fashion magazines up to the 1970's are full of ads from regional brands, and it is so interesting to hear about research into the history of your own region.Jen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371112170847037417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-88805586867104238422011-09-29T10:12:59.259-04:002011-09-29T10:12:59.259-04:00No Jen, I hadn't seen that--thank you so much!...No Jen, I hadn't seen that--thank you so much! When I was researching Grace Durocher I did find a bit about Leo Durocher somehow getting involved in the labor disputes. In 1935, labor unions voted to boycott Cardinals games because of "actions" Leo took when Grace crossed a picket line.Karen/Small Earth Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077078663239991329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-70171210844057949712011-09-29T01:27:33.857-04:002011-09-29T01:27:33.857-04:00You have a wonderful story here.

I will most certainly be thinking of this when I hold a Minx Modes or Doris Dodson dress now and in the future.<br /><br />One of the many reasons I love vintage is the detail and care that went into the making of each piece. Something some modern clothing lacks.<br /><br />Love the scallop detail on Margaret's dress too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-72606621744684085122011-09-28T14:12:55.230-04:002011-09-28T14:12:55.230-04:00I live in St Louis and we often find those Mix Mod...I live in St Louis and we often find those Mix Modes labels!
