Rare 1940s Edith Small Silk & Lace Dress designer-ted-lapidus fine cotton in the skirtVery early and rare Edith Small dress that I would guess is from some of her very early years mid to late 1940s. It has a bit of extra interest in that is also has a Western Costume Company tag so the possibility of it having appeared on film at some point are very high! If we only knew on who! The dress is wonderfully made and a testament to her skills as a dressmaker. Edith Small was perhaps not as well known as some of her contemporaries of the day
