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)“

Thanks to Christian Esquevin for sending this beautiful sketch and background information! Easter Parade is one of my favorite musicals. It’s a wonderful Hollywood film with beautiful costumes and entertainment.
This sketch, by Virginia Fisher, signed by Irene, presents a design worn by one of the strolling women on the 5th Avenue “Easter Parade” scene.
This sketch and the original costume had been exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s “Hollywood and History” exhibition many years ago. They were also reproduced in the book by the same title that was published based on that exhibition.
