The company’s original label read “Biberman Make” but changed in 1919 to “L’Aiglon”. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 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, L’Aiglon dresses were used as costumes on the soap opera,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Edge of Night\u003c\/em\u003e. The label was trademarked in 1963 so any labels with an R (trademark symbol) are post-1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company produced three labels in addition to their primary L’Aiglon label. Jeanne d’arc was L’Aiglon’s junior’s 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 L’Aiglon was a short-lived half size label made in 1962 and 1963. Half sizes were also offered prior to 1962 under the L’Aiglon label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company was liquidated in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e-Information courtesy of the Vintage Fashion Guild\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ed e t a i l s : gorgeous white dacron polyester covered in intricate floral embroidery in white, pink and green, cap sleeves, softly pleated skirt, metal zipper closure in back\u003cbr\u003e______________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ec o n d i t i o n : excellent - no flaws to mention. dress has been laundered and is ready to wear. as with all vintage, please expect wear consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003e_______________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g : fits like modern size XS\/S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003em e a s u r e m e n t s (inches) :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003elength 39\u003cbr\u003ebodice 16\u003cbr\u003ebust 36 flat, 37 snug, 38 tight\u003cbr\u003ewaist 25 flat 26 snug\u003cbr\u003ehem allowance 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e0289 | 2510\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mill street shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44545653276869,"sku":null,"price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/7840\/9925\/files\/IMG_5242.jpg?v=1741797417","url":"https:\/\/www.millstreet.shop\/products\/vintage-1960s-floral-embroidery-dress-by-lagilon-xs-s","provider":"Mill Street Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
