The business was located on 1400 Broadway in New York during the 1960s-1970s. Prior to that, it was located at 501 7th Ave.

NYC from 1928 through at least 1957 as indicated by a lease for a loft at that address. The last ad for Elinor Gay was from November 1974. In the later years (late 1960s-early 1970s), Elinor Gay focused mainly on separates but also had "spring party" dresses and "scarf print" gowns. Lots of velvet, satin backed crepe, chiffon etc.

Their earlier pieces from the 1940s-1950s were far more elaborate and formal - think shimmering ruffled rayon taffeta with spiderweb lace, with Can Can petticoats and pure silk organza coats in colors described as "black caviar" and "creme de menthe green".
