What does this mean?

Hi Heather,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

"Tailored Junior" was not a high-fashion designer line, but rather a mid-20th century American junior dress label. It was one of the many companies producing stylish but affordable dresses aimed at the post-war "junior miss" market (teenagers and young women) from the late 1940s through the 1960s.

The "P" on your label most likely stands for Petite, indicating the sizing.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage Tailored Junior Blue Party Dress
