The company was acquired by a Quebec based company, Victor Wollens, in 1999. Today the company is known as Victor Forstmann.

Vintage Stella Sloat floral Skirt
In 1960, Diana Vreeland (editor of Harper’s Bazaar magazine) received a
10 page letter from Jacqueline Kennedy seeking help in finding American
designers who fit her fashion style. One of the three designers that
was suggested was Stella Sloat- who defined the signature simplicity of
her well-made sportswear separates as “what is left after you take
everything away.” In 1971, Miss Sloat closed Sloat & Company (which
was founded by her father Morris and also ran it with her brothers
Herbert and Archine). In 1972, Dalton Cashmires coaxed her out of
retirement to design for them. She would stay there until 1977. Sloat
was known during the 50’s and 60’s for her tailored skirts and fine
fabrics.
This skirt dates from when Sloat designed for Dalton
Cashmires (1972-1977). It is marked Stella Sloat for Dalton. It has a
white background with red, yellow, and blue flowers.
Size is a vintage 14, which fits more like a modern 8/10.
* Waist: 28″ (71.2 cm)
* Hips: 40″ (50.8 cm)
* Length: 42″ (106.8 cm)
Fabric Content is unknown.
Dry Clean only
Skirt is in excellent condition. I can not find any flaws in it.
