Dress for Success: Nelly Don and American Fashion
You can’t mention 20th Century women’s wear without thinking of Nelly Don. The Parsons native built a fashion empire on the vision that women deserved affordable, stylish clothing regardless of means or status. From humble beginnings, Don built a company that brought fashion to millions of American women and became the largest dressmaker of the century. Ellen “Nell” Quinlan Donnelly Reed’s story is one of innovation, triumph, and hard work—all rooted in her small-town Kansas upbringing.
