This elegant vintage evening dress by Montreal designer Lillian Farrar is a striking example of sophisticated 1940s couture glamour. Crafted in fluid black silk crepe, the gown features padded shoulders, overlapped cap sleeves, an asymmetric neckline and elaborate black crystal beaded appliqué on the right shoulder and along the right neckline, down the left side of the skirt, and down the back in a design strongly evocative of Art Deco elegance and Old Hollywood evening wear.

The silhouette is long, graceful, and architectural, balancing strong wartime-era padded shoulders with soft draping through the body and hips. The asymmetrical neckline creates a particularly elegant effect, while the dimensional black beadwork catches the light subtly against the matte crepe background. The result is dramatic without being flashy — exactly the sort of refined glamour associated with high-end 1940s cocktail and formal fashions.

The dress cinches internally with hidden waist ties, helping to shape the silhouette while maintaining the fluid drape of the fabric. The back is especially beautiful, with a trailing arrangement of black beaded motifs descending diagonally from the shoulder to the waistline.

Label reads Lillian Farrar Montreal Creation.  This is an earlier Lillian Farrar label.  Farrar started off as a seamstress during the 1940s.  She started on St Lawrence St., moved to a suite in the Ritz Carlton and then, in 1946, she opened her first salon, located right downtown on fashionable Peel Street in Montreal, next to the Mount Royal Sheraton Hotel.  By 1957 she had grown her business to 400 regular clients and had a reputation for being ahead of the trends, even introducing styles before the Paris fashion houses.  She designed a coat for Princess Elizabeth, prior to her becoming Queen Elizabeth II, on the occasion of the Royal Visit to Canada in 1951.

Amazing story, just don’t buy from amazon
Format: Paperback
Don’t buy these from Amazon. The book is obviously great, but Amazon likes to just throw these into bubble mailers (or even just brown paper bags) and then send them off. No shrink wrap, no padding. Just a big book rattling around loosely in a bag. It will come dented and dinged 100% of the time. Just buy from a comic book shop or eBay seller who actually cares enough to package properly. The content of the book itself is fantastic though. I love this story so far and can’t believe I took so long to get into it. It has such a classic superhero feel while also subverting the genre in so many cool ways. Robert Kirkman can’t miss!

Interesting Story and Characters

I’ve been watching the show of Invincible for a few years now, and finally gave the comics a try. I’ve finished this entire compendium and loved every second.
