Georgia Bullock Lloyd was born Mildred Georgia Bullock on August 6, 1918 in Whittier, California, a small town in Los Angeles County. She found her flair for fashion design at an early age when she would make clothes for her dolls that matched the latest trends and styles. She later developed that flair when, while attending USC, she worked as a floor model and sales associate at a large department store in Los Angeles in the mid-1930s. After graduating from college, she began working at Bullock's Willshire as a floor model. The names were purely coincidental, as she had no relation to the store-owners. After that she was hired by a milliner, or a hat designer for women, and then an established fashion designer. Realizing this was something she wanted to pursue even further, Georgia then studied at Frank Wiggins Trade School in Los Angeles. All of her work in stores and with customers helped prepare her for her career in fashion.
