Hi, I am having trouble finding out more about a western shirt I acquired. It seems to be possibly made in the 1940s or 1950s and is a women’s. Made from heavy weight cotton, possibly a wool blend yoke that is embroidered and the
buttons seem original and pearlescent.

I’m looking to figure out the era but I am more intrigued with finding more about the label.
Label reads:
Paramount Hollywood Fashions
Choice of the Stars
Made in California

It has the paramount stars surrounding the words and a palm tree on the left side of the tag. I am attaching a photo of it but it is hard to read as it is faded and the label is sideways.

Also, I want to note that on the inside of the shirt on the bottom is written “Rich” and then has a piece of cloth stapled to the shirt that reads “Roxie EMR?”, underneath the Roxie writing there seems to have been written “K. Rich 9/44”.

I would love to find out if anyone knows if this was a studio label of some sort for paramount films. Maybe there is a super fun story to uncover here!

Thank you in advance for all of your help.
