VINTAGE DRESS e r a : 1960s f a b r i c : dacron poly c o l o r : white f a s t e n e r s : metal back zipper d e s i g n e r : L'Aiglon LAiglon was founded in 1898 in Philadelphia as part of Biberman Brothers, Inc. The companys original label read Biberman Make but changed in 1919 to LAiglon. On those early labels you will find Biberman Make in small letters. Biberman Make dresses were wash dresses, or washable. Tubable was the word of the era. Biberman also made bathrobes and uniforms for maids and nurses. Its founder, Joseph Biberman, took his life in 1933 as a result of financial difficulties during the Great Depression. The company, however, survived, and continued to make inexpensive but stylish and attractive dresses for women and juniors. During the 1950s, LAiglon dresses were used as costumes on the soap opera, The Edge of Night. The label was trademarked in 1963 so any labels with an R (trademark symbol) are post 1963. The company produced three labels in addition to their primary LAiglon label. Jeanne darc was LAiglons juniors label. It was launched in 1939 and produced through at least 1965. Dauphine, a label designed for petite sizes, was introduced in 1958 and manufactured through at least 1971. Lady LAiglon was a short lived half size label made in 1962 and 1963. Half sizes were also offered prior to 1962 under the LAiglon label. The company was liquidated in 1975.
