Title: Fashion and costume sketch collection: designer files.

The designer files include correspondence between designers and librarians Grace Banker and Mary Dorward regarding their project to collect fashion and costume sketches and compile biographical information directly from designers. The original questionnaires (primarily 1942) and typed biographies (compiled by Pratt Institute students in 1954), are included. The files may also contain advertising tearsheets and brochures, clippings, press releases, photographs of garments and designers, invitations, and notes.
