Formikahini and friends:

This is what I could find about the midcentury female wear. There is no website I could find. They skirts (I thought dresses - ? shorry I am a guy after all) and bags are made by a local mom. You might try calling the store (info below) to see if you could contact her directly - I'm sure she would work with you. She's really Mayberry-nice.

Designs from the Edge Skirts and Bags
(all of the items are made by Edye Sanford)
sold at Oh! Said Rose, 840 W. 36th St., (410) 235-5170

(Quote from baltimore City Paper): "See, guys, we don't expect you to pick out our clothes or figure out what cool accessory might brighten our winter wardrobe--but we expect you to pay attention when we tell you how to do it. And we are super digging the stuff coming from Designs from the Edge, found at that fount of girlie stuff, Oh! Said Rose. every Designs From the Edge garment is mom-created, locally, for fun and wearability, declare the tags on the A-line, wrap-around mini--but not too mini--skirts; these sewing moms nailed us. The skirts, priced $34.99-$36.99 depending on the rick-rack adornments, are made from a weighty vintage fabric that's gonna hold that sassy shape and come in a range of '50s and '60s patterns, like Atomic Age, Hawaiian palm fronds, bowling a go-go, and muted orange flowers. They sound like they'd be louder than Elvis' tummy after Sunday dinner, but your gal might pair it with black--as in black boots, tights, and sweater--in January and a tank and kicks in June, without ever overstepping the taste line. And the same lush fabrics go into the swingin' little--but not too little--handbags ($24.99-$29.99) that are seriously gonna win you points (their tags: your heart's desire in fabric). Girls like purses, and these original cuties will look tight with both jeans and trousers."

Good luck! Let me know if you get thru to her! Be good!
