Actually the Milgrim store in 57th street was started by Herman Milgrim. He married the designer Estelle Shalleck my grandparents in the early 1920's. Estelle had her own women's fashion shop on 57th. They had a son Charles Milgrim, who married Sally Milgrim (not the designer you speak of). The designer Sally Milgrim may have been one of the designers at the Milgrim's store which started in the late teens. Herman passed away in 1956 and Estelle in 1981. I'm very surprised that I cannot find any reference to either of my grandparents. I have an invitation to the White House from the Roosevelts to my grandparents - who were their tailors.
