House Dress Veteran Sells for 50 Years in Industry
Isaac Ginsberg, 74, a longtime house dress maker, recounts starting with six designs sold at Macy's and growing a multi million dollar operation. He credits pattern fit and trial and error for success as fashion shifted from simple cotton frocks to styled, varied garments. The National Association honors him as part of its golden anniversary next month. His line now includes a broad range of affordable dresses, many cotton, priced from 2.95 to 17.99.
