In reply to Elaine Lovett. Elaine, thank you so much for sharing this story! How wonderful that you lived so close and could enjoy such beautiful clothes for your children as they were growing up! And I'm so glad you can now pass along that joy to other families. I am going to forward this comment onto Florence Eiseman because I'm sure they would love to hear from such a loyal customer. Best to you and thanks again for sharing!

I just wanted to express my excitement when traveling toward downtown Milwaukee from Bayview.There,shining to my right,was the unmistakable Florence Eisman insignia! My heart skipped a beat! This mother of five was once among the excited crowd lined up before dawn,in FonDuLac, Wisconsin.My girlfriends and I waited for the calendar to count down the days till our big adventure.
The rush of adrenalin to find the perfect holiday outfit or two or three or more,made us forget the cold weather we and others of great taste in children’s clothing,endured as we waited for the door to treasures to open.Upon the rush in the door,we would be presented with our brown paper shopping bag which we would fill with varying sizes of beautifully appliqués sweaters,velvet and lace embellished holiday dresses,fit for a princess along with a swanky swim suit and cover up for the princess to wear,next time she had a chance to play in a pool.We had formed a comradely with other shoppers after our repeated yearly visits.It was not uncommon that you might hear someone calling out a size needed while holding up an article of clothing.
Occasionally,given the emotion of the shopping experience,some rather unsportsmanlike behavior would break out.The bags,brimming with our finds,would then be sorted as we sat on large sheets of brown paper placed on the floor.
Exhausted,we could not depart until we poured through the beautiful imported fabrics,imagining what we might create with them.
Our car ride to a neighboring luncheonette,gave us time to go through our finds,imagining our little darlings all dressed up!
To my dismay,the sales,which had been relocated to Milwaukee,were discontinued!! 🙁
You can now understand my excitement when I saw the Eisman signage during my ride.I have contacted them to include me in mailings concerning upcoming sales and although my babies are all grown adults now,and wouldn’t squezze into the classic regalia,I would love to perhaps find pieces for new little ones,others may have at their houses!
Thank you Florence Eisman for your inspirational,classic and well made in the USA,garments!
Your loyal friend,Elaine

I too wore Florence Eiseman growing up and my mother saved my dresses as well.
I love my girls in Florence Eiseman. So classic; so sweet. It is true that a child looks angelic when they are dressed classic; I believe as God intended.
