Joan Leslie by Kasper was a high end brand in the 1960s. High end materials were used then and the brand designed by Herbert Kasper was sold at high end stores like Neiman Marcus. Herbert Kasper joined Leslie Fay in 1965. Kasper previously worked with Jacques Fath, Christian Dior, and Marcel Rochas giving this dress some awesome DNA!
