vintage glitter dress c.1967 Gene Shelly Blue Crystal & Silver Sequin Stretch Knit Dress – Shrimpton CoutureIn its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded.

In its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded. After that was done the fabric would be sent back to California where the dresses were made. At the time, Hong Kong was doing the best sequin and bead work in the world outside of the specialty ateliers in Paris. Additionally, this dress is extra special as it is the same dress that was worn by Diana Ross and the Supremes for their 1967 appearance on The Hollywood Palace.

All of Gene Shelly's dresses start with the labels signature stretch knit fabric, this one is a beautiful pale baby blue that perfectly sets off the silver. Onto this are thousands and thousands of tightly spaced sequins. Each sequin has been meticulously applied by hand into its set place. Every inch of the fabric is covered with sequins and the dress glimmers in even the lowest of light. Set in among the silver sequins are big faceted blue paste crystals. These circle the neckline and upper shoulders like a built in piece of jewellery. Each crystal has been is hand sewn into place and they are large enough that they each have a 3D effect. Tiny blue glass seed beads outline the larger ones. More of these circle the ends of each sleeve and I love how the sleeves widen out. A slit up one side of the skirt is the perfect, final finish. The dimension and texture created from the result of all of this hand work is wonderful. The dress itself is immensely flattering with its figure hugging shape. The knit base makes it very comfortable to wear as it conforms to your curves. The knit is set on the bias so it shapes and molds to your figure once on.  Excellent condition.

The base is a baby blue stretch knit and the dress closes with a painted metal zipper at the back. The sequins are all applied by hand and I see no bare spots. The measurements are taken flat and shows the comfortable range of each spot. The stretch will allow for a variety of sizes and the dress will fall to approx mid-calf on most

Plush and Warm
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Queen
This comforter is so warm that you can sleep as you come! In a full PJ set this blanket makes me sweat so I have learned that less is more. It is sooooo plush, and soft that it will have you not wanting to come out of bed. The size is perfect for a couple or someone who wants to feel nice and cozy like a bug in a rug. The quality of blanket is amazing as it is thick, fluffs up immediately out the package, has no smell and does not have a wrinkly appearance. I bought this to replace a feather down blanket that had my bedroom feeling like a chicken coop and it definitely does not disappoint. If you want to save on your heating bill, give a warm gift or have a plush night of sleep then this comforter is for you.

Wife and cat approved!!!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen, Color: Grey, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter has been a great addition to our bedroom. It has a soft, plush feel right out of the bag and fluffs up nicely once laid out. It strikes a nice balance of being lightweight while still keeping us warm and cozy, which is perfect for year-round use. My wife immediately noticed how soft it felt, and it really does make the bed feel more inviting at the end of the day. What surprised me most is how much everyone in the house seems to love it—our cats practically live on the bed now because of how comfortable it is. The fabric feels gentle against the skin, and it doesn’t have that scratchy or noisy texture some budget comforters do. Overall, it’s a cozy, well-made option that delivers good warmth and comfort at a reasonable price.

Soft, Warm & Cozy
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter Set is absolutely wonderful. I purchased it for my 75-year-old mom during her visit to Oregon, where the weather can be quite cool, and it was the perfect choice. The sherpa material is unbelievably soft and cozy without being too heavy. It kept her warm and comfortable, especially in the evenings, and she commented multiple times on how soft and luxurious it felt. The quality is excellent, and it looks great on the bed as well. If you’re looking for a warm, plush comforter that’s gentle, cozy, and ideal for cooler climates or older guests, this set is a fantastic purchase. We’re very happy with it and would definitely buy it again.

Review of bedlite fluffy comforter
Color: Grey, Size: Twin
The bed light fluffy twin comforter was terrific and well-made. I would say, however, as a person who runs cold that I needed to put an extra blanket on top of it. The comforter is warm for the spring and fall, but not for the winter. The other thing to mention is, it is a light comforter, and not a thick comforter for the winter. Overall, I would recommend the comforter is worth the value of the money you paid for it.

big, comfy, and warm!
Color: Black, Size: Queen
very soft and comfortable, perfect for cold winter nights! it's just had to wash at home since it's so thick and big. if you have a big washer and dryer, i'd recommend it, but if not be prepared to go to the laundry mat every time you want to wash your bedding.
