Mrs Hamilton started creating clothes for women in their 40s because she felt they had few options available.
Her son David Hamilton has since taken over running the business, which now boasts 26 stores since its creation in 1969.
Mr Hamilton said the store had grown organically and was now looking at other regional locations.
“Someone suggested we check our Orange, everyone tells me it’s a good location to have a store,” Mr Hamilton said.

“The majority is Australian made, we have our own factory in Melbourne.”
