The working title for this film was The Luxury Tax, after the short story by Ethel Donoher on which it was based. Principal photography began by early December 1921, according to an announcement in the 3 December 1921 Exhibitors Herald. Shooting took place at the Jackson Studios in the Bronx borough of New York City, and on location in Long Island, as noted in the 10 December 1921 Motion Picture News. Filming ended sometime in January 1922 and theatrical release was scheduled to follow on 19 February 1922. The title was changed to Other Women’s Clothes prior to release; a news item in the 7 March 1922 [Lincoln, NE] Lincoln Star Journal noted that the title had been changed from Lipsticks and Rouge, suggesting the latter was an interim title.
A review in the 17 March 1922 Variety stated that “considerable action takes place with the story at times being slightly disconnected largely due to the fact that considerable cutting was necessary to bring the production down to the required length for a program feature.”
Lillian Sheffer might have worked on the film as a production assistant, according to a 3 December 1921 Exhibitors Herald brief.
