The 50s brought about great excitement and a zeal for life after the war and the Great Depression. People were ready for change much like today! The clothing industry had new ideas and designs that were made famous by many designers. Nelly Don was one of the famous clothing manufacturers of that time. Her company headquarters was in Kansas City, Missouri. Nelly Don manufactured 75 million dresses from 1916 to 1978. It was the largest manfacturer of the 20th Century! Nelly Don was named after its founder Ellen Quinlan Donnelly Reed. Her company made fabulous 50s dresses as well as uniforms for the women in the military and factories. Some of the Nelly Don 50s dresses like this one are in Dena's Vintage Closet! Check out all the dresses at http://www.denasvintagecloset.com/!
