Dear Mary,
I have many dresses made by Lorrie Deb, how exciting to know your Step mother was involved in this lovely process of designing the dresses.
I found this advertisement I thought you might be interested in. Hmm… too bad we couldn’t do a little time travel right now!!
Thanks for your inquiry. 🙂 hugs!

I recently bought the dress in the ad that was posted and am in love with it! It has some aging to it, rips and some stains, but still beautiful!

Hello Mary Michael. My name is Virginia, and May Barlow Cummings was my great-Aunt. My maternal grandfather’s sister, his name was John Harry. I have a few of my Aunt’s designs, portfolio, and a couple of actual dresses. Aunt May sent my mother to a French dress design school in the 50’s. Anyway, hope to hear back from you.

I recently unpacked my Lorrie Deb wedding dress from 1982 and was shocked to see how white and beautiful it was. It’s still in style and for sale on Ebay now!

I am researching May Barlow Cummings for the Lorrie Deb/ Emma Domb entry in the Vintage Fashion Guild Label resource. Would love to hear from Mary or anyone else that knows anything about the designer.
