My thanks to Bret for sharing this wonderful press photo of an Irene sketch for Marlene Dietrich from “The Lady Is Willing” – 1942.

The back of the sketch reads:

"An unusually chic town suit, designed by Irene, is worn by Marlene Dietrich in Columbia picture “The Lady Is Willing.” Black silk bengaline is the fabric, cut with a narrow skirt and flared peplum jacket, it embodies the high style notes of the season. A vest of white bugle beads adds further elegance to the costume. (MARLENE DIETRICH #13)“
