<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 3647817, member: 29&quot;]Yup. As I say, I remember the shop and it was very fancy. Like many of the best gown shops, run by Continental Jewish emigres and escapees: that was very much the pattern of much of the London fashion, fabric and haberdashery industries pre and post war. It went in a hierarchy from the East End sweat shops to high end Mayfair. The one I worked in was owned by my best friend&#039;s aunt, complete with seamstresses in the basement workshop. I used to be sent off to Berwick Street to match threads and trimmings. Learned a lot from that, too. There must have been thirty or forty haberdashers, and heaven knows how many fabric ones. Margaret Street too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
