Miss C: The Label

I recently discovered that Miss Cavendish is also the name of a 1970s London design label.

Here's a vintage Miss Cavendish dress for sale, floor-length, in what I'd call an Ossie Clark silhouette (note the cut-out below the buckle).*



Are any London readers familiar with this label?


*Of course I am familiar with this Ossie Clark cut-out thanks to the fabulous WendyB and her gorgeous Ossie collection.

    Ha ha! I love that you have your own label. I once got a vintage dress because the label said "Wendy."

    That is the grooviest label EVER! I would so reproduce it, if I were you, and start making your own clothes!

    Groovy it is! I do have a label, but it is a boring white on pink: http://misscavendish.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-hoped-you-were-coming-so-i.html It would be great fun to reproduce the groovy one!!!

    There's a long-established textile company, John Cavendish, located in Yorkshire in the UK - I wonder could they have produced women's clothes during the 1960s? It might be worth checking out.
