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.

The price of 35.99 is just perfect.
Color: Blue
This toy is truly amazing! Even when it's out of power, my little dog will play with it by itself. When I first got it, it barked at the toy for about an hour - probably because it was a bit confused and excited. But later, everything was fine. Now it has become one of the dog's favorite toys, and the only one. The quality is excellent, and it's really quite fun. It can be played with on its own to entertain itself, or it can be used for a tug-of-war game with another object - it's versatile. Our whole family loves it very much! Highly recommended.

Very impressed with toy
I love these, my family loves these and the cats love these. The only one who doesn't pay it any attention is the one it was intended for. Bought for our dog who has an obsession for stealing napkins or tissues or paper and eating it, we thought its be clever to get this squeaky newspaper toy for him to steal and have a field day with. It resembles the front page of every newspaper I have ever seen and the crinkle is superb, yet no dice. He sniffs it and turns his nose up at it. Our next goal is to wrap his favorite treat inside it and have him find it so then the toy is scented as his favorite treat. Other than that, this pack comes with 3 individual paper like crinkle toys and the imagery and words are clearly seen on it. Nothing is smudged or missing. Very impressed actually!
