A little info about the Tina Leser Original label via FIDM Museum:Ā 

"The Tina Leser skirt seen in these photos is labeled a ā€œTina Leser Original.ā€ During the 1950s, if a designerā€™s name was paired with ā€œoriginalā€ on the garment label, it designated a ready-to-wear garment produced in extremely limited quantities and available only at select stores. Bridging the gap between custom made haute couture and widely available ready-to-wear, the buyer of an ā€œoriginalā€ garment was unlikely to encounter another women wearing the same model."Ā
