Claire McCardell had a comfortable sophistication
If you can find one of her swimsuits... buy it!They are worth good money
Details she liked - wrap ties, interesting necklines, gathers for comfort and flattering fit
Claire designed under the Townley label for a time
This ad is super cool isn't it??!!
A pretty dress - her clothes still so modern!Note the neckline, cool stripes, and small button closure on left bodice
McCardell loved draping and jersey
This dress reflects her other life in the country on her farm
Pretty neckline and in her day, new and fresh
Again lines and angles
