I was a Bridal Consultant at Sakowitz downtown Houston in 1953, freshly graduated from SMU. It was a most elegant store, definitely on par with Neiman's in Dallas. The Bridal Department on the 3rd floor, along with couturier & furs, was beautiful. I used a middle name as a first name then.
It was a most impressive building. The Bridal Department enjoyed the big windows on the 3rd floor overlooking Main Street. I remember watching a parade with the King and Queen of the Netherlands riding in an open limo from the window. The original Foley's was across Main Street from Sakowitz.
