was talking about brands from the past and Alfred Dunner was mentioned...does anybody know if that was just the name of the brand or an actual designer?

I think it is a brand that targets mature women. My mother wore a lot of Alfred Dunner. The company was family owned, but I do not know who does the designing.

We’re a family-owned and operated business that is driven by an entrepreneurial sensibility—living by our ‘handshake’ approach as well as our word…and never compromising on either. In essence, we care.

Mom used to wear Alfred Dunner slacks and tops.
We purchased them at Melvyn's and Gotchalks, both out of business.

I was in Macy's last week and they had a few pieces.

Belk's also carries Alfred Dunner, both in their stores and on-line. The quality of their clothing has always been quite good.

I had a friend that wore this brand years ago and they were very matronly and inexpensive material. Can't say what their clothes are like now.

I think it's just a brand name. I still see quite a few items of Dunner at Kohl's. It's primarily always thought of as for mature or older women. It's not cheap either!

JC Penney carries this brand as well, used to buy the petite pants for my mom years ago but she still had to hem them up a bit, the quality of their fabrics was good, don't know what it is now.

I am not 100% sure but think it was a division of clothing in name only. My mom would purchase this brand at JC Penney along with Sag Harbor years ago to wear, back in the 80's.

Drapers and Damon carries Alfred Dunner and has for years. They are on line and also send out a beautiful catalog upon request. Drapers has been around a long time and I have ordered from them frequently. Their clothes are good quality and up to date designs.

I use to purchase that brand for my Mother back in the 80's! I always found it very matronly. Now I am of "that age" but the styles still look matronly to me.

I think quite a few of Denim & Co current styles resemble Alfred Dunner pieces that I have seen in catalogs..I am a QVC customer for 30 years + and personally think that their items from 10 to 15 years ago were more stylish. I have a black v neck shirt with black leather like quilting on each shoulder..It is my favorite top..it has not shrunk, the quilting has not changed and it is not polyester and spandex. Just my personal experience..

I've seen it at Kohl's.
