From 1939, to be exact, an exquisite evening gown in jet-black velvet with matching jacket fit for a big-screen starlet.

Dress has slim straps, attached sash, and flowing skirt. Bodice features tiny, star-shaped sequins stitched into a jaunty bow, and all the way around. We show the dress sleek and slim, with nothing beneath, but the hem sweep could easily accommodate a large crinoline. Lined at bodice. Dress closes at side with metal zipper. Sash closes at back with snaps and hook&eye at the permanent bow. Straps snap at front inner bodice, and thus are easily adjusted for a custom fit.

Jacket is full-on Hollywood glamour with grand, puffed, upper sleeves (but only small sleeve-head shoulder pads) slimming to elongated points that close with a row of covered buttons. Lots of strategic seaming for a flattering fit. Fully lined. Feels heavenly. 

Made at a boutique in West Virginia, U.S.A. Another gem from the Sherman estate. 

Labels: Mildred's
We found advertisements for Mildred's Dress Shop in Charleston, W.Va., from 1931. It was clearly a high-end boutique, as their least-expensive offerings, even deeply discounted, were more than $150 in today's money. This particular ensemble was purchased in 1939.

Fiber/Care: no tags, velvet feels like silk though may possibly be a cotton and/or rayon blend, dry-clean only

Condition: presents beautifully, but there are some glitches to note.

The dress's hem is chewed up and thinning along the bottom front. we'll let you have it hemmed to your desire length. any fabric salvaged in the process can be used for repairs and patches, as you see fit. with a black slip and the hem finished properly, the thin areas and tiny hole at left back hip would be invisible. but we recommend repairs to prolong the life of the dress. there's a spot of discoloration at the front sequins, as shown. I doubt it's permanent, but our dry-cleaner didn't manage to (or perhaps didn't try) to remove it.

The jacket has the one uncovered button, but otherwise is in excellent shape. we've retacked its lining along the neckline. no other flaws.

*We've had this gown & jacket set professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*

Comfortable at First, But Did Not Last Long
Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White
I used these Feethit men’s slip on running shoes for about six months, and my experience was a bit mixed. Starting with the positives, they are pretty comfortable right out of the box. They are lightweight and easy to slip on, which makes them great for quick trips or casual everyday wear. The fit was true to size for me, maybe even a little on the loose side, which I did not mind for a relaxed feel. However, the durability just was not there. After about six months, I started to notice wear and tear, and eventually I got a tear in the sole right under my heel. That made them really uncomfortable to walk in, especially for longer periods. Once that happened, it was basically game over for using them regularly. Because of that, I would not recommend these for heavy use, workouts, or long days on your feet. They seem better suited for light, occasional wear rather than something you rely on daily. Overall, they are comfortable and easy to wear at first, but they do not hold up over time. If you are looking for something long lasting, you may want to look at other options.

Won’t Fit No Matter What
Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White, Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White
These shoes don’t stretch so I was unable to get my foot in the shoe. They are my size, but the opening has no stretch so you can’t get your foot in the shoe. I tried several different ways and then realized even though the shoe is the correct size, the opening was too small. They made the opening for the shoe probably the same size on all shoes, so unless you have kids feet you won’t even be able to slide them on. I’ve never had a shoe I couldn’t get on. I’ve worn Sketchers no problem. This is design flaw and I highly recommend you don’t buy!

Really comfortable!!!
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
These tennis shoes are so comfortable!!! I would recommend anybody to get these, especially if you do a lot of walking they’re very light but have a good heal support and the soul is nice and soft and cushy.. They’re also so cute. I got the blue ones and red also.

Comfortable, Practical Everyday Cotton Shorts That Hit Most of the Right Notes
Size: Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
These Fruit of the Loom Eversoft cotton shorts are exactly the kind of go-to casual shorts you reach for when comfort matters more than fashion. They’re soft, simple, and dependable — great for lounging around the house, running errands, or just staying comfortable on warm days. The Eversoft cotton lives up to its name. The fabric feels genuinely soft against the skin and stays comfortable even after hours of wear. It’s not clingy or rough, and it breathes well enough to keep you cool on a hot afternoon. For everyday comfort, they’re noticeably better than basic cotton shorts that can feel stiff or scratchy. One of the features that makes these a practical choice is the pockets. They’re real pockets — roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, or whatever you carry on a quick outing. That’s worth calling out because a lot of lounge shorts feel great but skimp on usable storage. These don’t. The fit is relaxed without being sloppy. The elastic waistband with drawstring adjusts easily and stays comfortable through activity or inactivity. They don’t dig in or feel restrictive, which makes them easy to wear for sleeping, working from home, watching TV, or walking the dog. Build quality is solid for the price point. The stitching holds up through wear and washes, and the shorts don’t lose shape or shrink dramatically after laundering. They’re not going to feel like premium athletic gear or performance fabrics, but for what they are — casual cotton shorts — they stay reliable over time. These aren’t going to be your choice for intense workouts, formal occasions, or anything that demands technical fabrics, but for everyday comfort and simplicity, they’re hard to beat. Soft, breathable cotton with pockets and a dependable fit makes these shorts versatile and easy to wear on repeat. Overall, these Fruit of the Loom Eversoft shorts are exactly what most people want from casual summertime wear: comfortable, practical, and dependable. Five stars for everyday use and solid comfort.
