These pieces of information were included in the original wikipedia article; however, I have gone through the original sources and can't find any source that actually contains this information. Can anyone else find a source for this information?

"She collaborated with a variety of businesses and fashion designers, including DuPont, and Emilio Pucci. Rose Marie licensed Pucci fabrics and used them in a series of swimsuits.

Reid introduced daring color combinations in her "Ribbons of Color" line which became one of Reid's most successful lines, greatly expanding the 1950s color palette. By the 1960s, styles were trending away from the highly structured fit of the 1950s in favor of more minimalist, less form-fitting designs, leading Reid to introduce her "Swimsuits by the Ounce" line of very lightweight swimsuits. This innovation was facilitated by the introduction of Lycra." Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 22:14, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

John, the curator of her collection here at BYU, said that that information comes from the material in our collection on her (in special collections). I imagine it would be in her correspondence https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/MSS%208044/Series%201/Subseries%202/. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:22, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Did Rose have any affiliation with Brigham Young University? She is listed on List of Brigham Young University people. --Eustress (talk) 01:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
