Vintage 1960s Black Velvet Evening Dress Gown Bards Toronto Claire Haddad Size L men's scarf This is a wonderful vintageThis is a wonderful 1960s era long dress evening gown made by Bards Toronto. Bards was founded by Joseph Henry Bardwell in 1938 after he procured the Canadian license for exclusive use of Viyella, which was a British fabric. Bards specialized in housecoats dressing gowns, so this evening dress is not their typical production. His daughter was Claire Bardwell, who took on the name Claire Haddad when she married in 1944 at the age of 20. Claire Haddad
