Full-length evening gown with silk flower
Reslau Frocks was started by Frank Crosby in the 1930s, but it really was a family business with three of his daughters working in the factory on Elliott Street. One of Reslau's local stockists was Jacqueline Gowns, owned by Frank's wife Alice. It was located at 94 Queen Street.
