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.*

Awesome shoes for an active kid
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Blue
These shoes are absolutely AWESOME. We've tried a lot of these lesser known Amazon brands as well as big brand names and these Kubuas are great. Comfortable, light, can be worn all day. My 10 year old is on his second size. The old pair that he's outgrown now is still in pretty good shape. Highly recommend!

He loves them.
Size: 4.5 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange
Great construction and very durable. I’ve got an 8 year old boy who loves to play rough. He wears them through mud, grass, gets them wet, anything you can imagine. They clean really easily, which is a lifesaver when you’ve got an 8 year old. He loves the colors and his friends think they’re cool, which is a bonus. They support his arches well, fit just right, and are true to size. These can be worn as daily walkers, gym shoes, running shoes, or when he wants to look fly. These grip is strong - great for gym class. Very affordable and well worth it. Shipped quickly. Multiple uses for sports, walking, basketball, soccer, whatever. The laces are tough and the tongue is well constructed, as is the heel and the sole. Works perfectly.

The BEST kids tennis shoes
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Black/Green
I just bought a second pair of these for my son. The first pair lasted a whole school year, which is pretty good for an active 4 year old, and he still loves them though they look a bit beat up. Got him a new pair for his birthday and he’s so excited. Worth every penny. True to size and they are apparently very comfortable.

I will keep buying these
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange
This is the third time I have purchased these shoes. Every time my son grows out of them I buy the next size up. His favorite color is orange, so he loves the look of these. They are also soft mesh around the toes, which he loves so he can wiggle his toes. These are durable and well made. The pair i purchased before these is still wearable, just too small for him now. These are his daily shoes. The price has gone up since my first purchase, but they still are not unreasonable for how long they last. He is an active boy. He climbs trees, runs, and plays hard. So for any show to last 6 months when he wears them daily it shows the durability. It also shows that these shoes have tread on them thay stops him from slipping. He is able to move around freely and never has issues with grip. He puts them on without difficulty.
