The dresses were described in The New York Times as "white silk dresses edged with otter fur" worn with "mouse-colored velvet hats with ostrich plumes." The New York Times reported in 1894 that the American branch of the business was purchased by the New York firm of Ehrich Brothers, which made "magnificent costumes" available "for only a fraction of the original price." A labeled dress by Reily, a pale green silk satin with a brocaded floral and vine design, lace trim at the neckline and cuffs, net inserts at the neckline, and a wide satin sash with metal tassels, is in the collection of the Staten Island Historical Society (Staten Island, New York City). Early in her career, the French designer Madeleine Vionnet (1876–1975) worked as a fitter with Reily. (en) |
