Thank you for your comment because you've reminded me that I keep meaning to update this post too... this label stuck in my head/heart you know what I mean, and periodically I'd try to find out more about it. What I came up with hinges on whether the second "B" could in fact be a "D"? Because then we'd have some provenance... Bernard "D"owd founded the Hickory lingerie label in Australia, and that would place this in some far-out psychedelic satellite line of Hickory loungewear. I'm curious as to whether your dress might fit into this category? Cheers :)silvervisionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101420981995369799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633666796417296723.post-38119733975987268642015-05-06T17:22:24.037+10:002015-05-06T17:22:24.037+10:00I too have just acquired a dress with this label a...I too have just acquired a dress with this label and like you know nothing about them,great name though😃<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633666796417296723.post-88521918408799773412014-03-15T23:31:13.359+11:002014-03-15T23:31:13.359+11:00The clown looks rather offended.
