This taffeta gown was in the colors of sapphire and emerald. The photo was shot in Irene’s Culver City showroom, circa 1950.

It’s always interesting to see a photo of Irene
with several of her costume sketches, while
trying to identify the individual designs.
It’s a shame so few of these have survived. As
with most designers, these artifacts were considered
expendable after a movie was finished. Like the
costumes themselves, most have perished. Irene’s
costume sketches are always identifiable. She
may not have drawn all of the them, but they all
bear her unmistakable style and usually her bold
signature.
