This gown is absolutely incredible and very beautiful. It really is one of the most phenomenal dresses I have ever had and the workmanship is exquisite. It is constructed from yards and yards of bias cut black silk organza. Down the front of the dress is a trail of silk and velvet pink roses that are set along padded velvet stalks. The leaves along the vines are hand painted onto the silk in a gold paint and then each is detailed with a layer of gold sequins. These trail up to one side where they are met by three bands of black velvet that curve up and over the shoulders. More velvet bands the waist and the combination of textures and colors of the black is fantastic. The cut is pure old glamorous Hollywood. A fitted bodice is cut to follow every curve. It cinches in at the waist and this tops expansive, full skirts made from yards and yards of bias cut silk organza topping an inner more opaque black skirt. Everything about this gown is beautiful. The bodice is lightly boned and everything is done by hand. From the estate of a very wealthy woman this is a testament to gowns made in this time period. Presents as excellent condition but does have some small issues to mote below.

Fully lined in a black silky rayon. There is boning in the bodice. It closes with a side painted metal zipper on the interior layer and with snaps over this on the exterior layer. Hand work throughout. I see an old repair near the hem on the back top layer of the skirt. There is some repairs to the pleat work on the silk and some shattering along the very edge of the top of the bodice. I also see some slight shattering to the silk along the top layer where it closes at the side. Priced far lower then otherwise for this exquisite gown.

Bust: 15" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 11" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 17.5" from top of shoulder strap to waist
Skirt: 43" from waist to hem

Best Sleep Shorts EVER ♥️
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Medium
Love, love, LOVE these bamboo BoyShorts! I wear them for sleeping because they’re incredibly light, soft and comfortable while still having a great liner. They fit to my body while not feeling tight, snug or restrictive. Soooo comfortable. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs and went with Medium. ♥️

Amazing fit!!!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Large
These are quite literally the best underwear I have ever worn. I am going to replace all of my underwear with just these. I got the shorter boy shorts cut and they are amazing. These let my body be the shape that my body is, no squeezing or tight waist band. I feel so normal and comfortable in them, they’re breathable and soft!! I absolutely love them after so much trial and error with underwear I finally found the ones!

Highly recommend during pregnancy and to wear around the house!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: X-Large
Love!! I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant. I’m 5’6” and pre pregnancy weight I would fluctuate between 132-140 lbs easily. I now weigh 162 lbs and my hip is now measuring 40 inches. I bought the XL in the dark grey/black so that it wouldn’t be tight at all around my belly and I absolutely love them! Stretchy, comfortable, breathable. They aren’t loose around my thighs and I can tell they are gonna be nice to wear during post partum. I wear them around the house with an open robe and a bralette for the ultimate comfort. If I were to buy them before pregnancy, I’m positive that a large would have fit beautifully, even though the small/medium measurements on the size chart would have been my pre pregnancy weight, I know they would have been too tight. I detest tight underwear! Highly recommend!

Cute and Comfy
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: Medium
These are cute and comfy with a great fit. True to size they are cool and comfortable for everyday wear. I was going to order more but the price went up so I'm just waiting for it to go back down to order again.

Not what I’d hoped
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Small
The fabric is nice, soft without being overly bulky. The design was almost what I wanted. I’ve been trying to find underwear that won’t ride up and is comfortable to wear under leggings. The fabric has a LOT of stretch around the legs and deforms quickly. Then it rides up and wrinkles. Smaller leg openings might make the difference.
