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.

I've loved these - great value and performance
Style: Standard, Color: Black
I purchased these almost three years ago, and I've taken them out on runs several times a week since then. I've been very satisfied with the ease of use (I've had no trouble at all connecting to my two Android phones and my Mac), sound quality, and battery life. I thought to put up a review today because one of the over-the-ear loops broke after 34 months of use. I've superglued it and will see how it lasts, but, at this price point, I've gotten more than my money's worth, and I'm ready to buy another pair if the ones I have are done.

Cool, Compact and Convenient !
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
I really love these PocBuds earbuds...they sound robust and the case is a charging case which is very convenient and compact. I love that I can wear just one at a time while the other stays charged. That way I can listen to my music or podcasts while I walk or cook. The color is a rich, camo green which is one of my favorite color shades of green. I highly recommend and God bless❣️ John 3:16

Good Product But May Not Be For Everyone
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
The look exactly as pictured and described and they’re very nice. Even the small buds feel a bit big for my ears but they fit snug enough to not have to worry about them falling out. They’re relatively comfortable but I haven’t had a change to wear them for long. Either way they seem very much able to stay in your ears. There’s not a lot of adjustability to the ear cuff portion and if you have long hair it’s harder to get them in and they get caught and they to go through your hair. It took me some getting used to on how to put them comfortably but once they’re in they’re very secure. They along with their charging case charge fast and hold charge well. The display telling you percentage is great and the controls seem to be very easy. They’re not great for noise cancelling but I knew that before purchasing because I read the other reviews. Honestly it’s not like you can hear EVEURHING especially if the audio is on but that’s great, especially if you end up using them in public because you’ll be able to pay closer attention to your surroundings. It may not be good if you can’t focus with bleed through noise but just about everything has its trade offs. Overall it’s a very nice product ESPECIALLY for the price. I don’t like scanning QR codes personally so I haven’t registered yet but they do also include a 5 year extended warranty if you feel so inclined.

Excellent blazer!
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Very nice fabric. Comfortable throughout chest arms and waist. Very nice shade of grey that goes with everything! Fit was perfect. It claims to be washable but I prefer dry cleaning. All Stitching is hidden and it is fully lined. I wear blazers daily for work and this one is great especially for the price.
