Dress Designer Thelma Buckley Surges From Need to Fashion Fame
Thelma Buckley rose from sewing doll clothes to a top dress designer in Amarillo. She studied at West Texas State College, made dresses for friends, and worked in alterations for Cohen’s and a Abilene ready to wear shop. During the Depression she tailored ladies suits from menswear and later launched her own business with husband F B Buckley, gaining early success with a leather jacket design for White & Kirk and a California stint studying star styles.
