An absolutely breathtaking and ultra rare Germaine Monteil couture polka dot bias-cut gown ensemble dating back to the mid 1930's. Germaine Monteil is remembered most for her cosmetics empire, but she was first a well-known fashion designer. Born in France, she moved to America in the early 1930's and opened her own house at 663 Fifth Avenue in New York. In recognition of her vast influence upon the fashion industry, Monteil received a Neiman Marcus Fashion Award in 1938. This incredible black and yellow polka-dot silk gown with matching capelet is a masterclass in craftsmanship. The chic thin-strap bodice has the most incredible floral appliqués along the bodice in the same hue. This detail adds such depth and texture to the delicate fabric. The matching romantic tiered capelet elevates the look with additional layers gracefully falling over the bust, lending an air of allure. The bias-cut design of this exquisite gown drapes the body in a flattering silhouette, emphasizing the curves while allowing for graceful movement. Definitely a type of garment that would have influenced John Galliano while he was working at Christian Dior. It is amazing that a gown with this amount of presence can literally feel almost weightless but it does. An iconic example of high-end 'Old Hollywood' glamour from this very special era.
Measurements
Bust: 31-34 inches
Waist: 24-27 inches
Hips: up to 36 inches
Total Length: 60 inches
This 1930's Germaine Monteil designer gown is in very good wearable condition with no fade, alterations or missing appliqués. Slips over the head with no additional closures. Signs of wear include some over all faint surface spots and two tiny holes to the silk bodice which do not go through the lining. Please message for detailed pictures. A rare piece of wearable art that will only go up in value.

Perfect
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack, Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack
very nice brackets..very sturdy. Fits a 1x10 board perfect. Comes with everything you need and a.cool little level also. I loved them.so much I bought another pack and decided to add more shelves for my plants. It was easier to mount the shelf to the bracket then mount the whole shelf. Holds almost all my plants some are pretty heavy.

Well made brackets
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack, Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
These are nicely manufactured in that they are all exactly the same (with no variations) and with nice countersunk holes for the provided black flat head wood screws. I used a stained 1x12 #2 whitewood (Eastern Pine) from Lowes for the shelves. With these brackets solidly installed into wall studs at 32" on center (every other stud) the 1x12 shelf will easily support a heavy book load. I like the look better than the brackets that have the vertical leg below the shelf. It looks a lot cleaner.
It is probably inevitable that your stud layout will result in a bracket or two needing to be installed between solid wood studs. In this case, do NOT use the sheetrock wall anchors provided with the brackets as they will pull out of the wall under an appreciable load. Instead, get some "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts and replace the provided bolts with #10-24 x 1.25" flat head machine screws in black. These toggle bolts are incredibly strong and easy to install.
I am adding a postscript to my review regarding bracket spacing recommendations. With a heavy book load, the 1x12 shelf boards don't sag with the brackets spaced 32" apart, however I have found that the brackets themselves are overstressed by about 30% (they are only rated at 80# each.) Heavy books weigh up to about 36# per lineal foot so the maximum spacing of the brackets should be 24" apart. At 32" apart, they won't pull out of the wall if they are fastened into studs but they will sag a little bit back to front under this load. So I added additional brackets in between the installed brackets and now they are 16" apart at the heavy book shelf. The load on each bracket is now less than 50# but they STILL sag about 3/16" from back to front when loaded with books! No danger of structural failure and the sag is not really noticeable.

Very sturdy and all hardware needed
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-12 pack
These brackets are very sturdy and came with all the hardware needed, including two types of wall anchors if you won’t be going through a stud, and a magnetic level which was very useful. Would recommend.
