  • The twin of this gorgeous dress walked the Fall 1986 runway.
  • It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr Valentino.
  • This is an exceptional example of Valentino's work that he was doing during the 1980s. Finding pieces from this time period in such immaculate condition is a rarity and I am very pleased to have this beautiful dress in the shop.
  • In 2022 Sara Sampaio wore one backwards on the red carpet. 
  • I love having the red carpet and runway photo so that you can see how the dress can be worn either way around. We also photoed it both ways so that you can see how it lies. 
  • The dress is made out of an inky black velvet and then the back inset and end of each sleeve are made out of a stiffened silk chiffon fine net that has the rows of glittering rhinestones set onto it
  • The dress has all of the red carpet feel that you look for in the best of his work. The shoulders are shaped with inner padding, and then they extend down into the sleeves, which are wider at the tops near the shoulder and narrow to those amazing cuffs.
  • Each cuff is a band of the silk that has hand applied horizontal rows of rhinestones wrapped around them for a glamorous finish. I love this extra detail that lets you have that bit of glitz no matter which way around you decide to wear the dress.
  • The bodice is meant to skim out from the shoulders. The same shape is repeated at the back.
  • The waist is brought in with subtle darting and then it curves out and over the hips to fall to the floor, widening out slightly as it near the hem.
  • The inset of net and rhinestones has been set on a sharp angle that extends to the lower back. When this is turned around to be worn at the front, it goes down to the low waist. There is transparency here so if you do decide to wear it to the front you can also decide how daring you want to be as far as what you wear underneath.
  • This is an exceptional and early example of his work.
  • The dress is fully lined in a black silk organza with the areas covered in rhinestones having transparency between the rows. It closes with a hidden set zipper placed at what was traditionally the front. Padding in each shoulder. Each cuff closes with a hidden set zipper. The back skirt extends slightly longer and has a bit of fullness. If you wear the rhinestone side to the front, you will have that little bit of extra fabric there.

Not A Walking Shoe
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/British Tan
In the photo online this shoe looks like it will be very comfortable. Kind of a classy Coach's Shoe. Also in the photo the heel portion of the sole looks thick and supportive. I bought them thinking they would be my go-to travel shoe. Wrong. This is not a comfortable shoe for extended wear. Short durations, OK. The main problem is that the sole is very thin and flexible in all directions. There is no, as in zero arch support, plus that thin heel means that you tend to rock back on your heels and it feels like you're pounding the pavement. I've worn once and I'm very disappointed. They look great, definitely high quality materials, but using them for the intended purpose of travel.... fah get about it. If you're looking for a good looking shoe to wear around the gym and you don't intend to use the treadmill, or elliptical, then this is the shoe you want. They would definitely be returned if I hadn't already worn them outside.

Waterproof perfect as travel fountain pen case
Awesome very small size waterproof bag. Purchased to use as a travel case for my fountain pens and ink (just in case). Although I have never had an ink accident, I wanted something compact enough to use in a small cross body bag without wasting space for the sake of an extra measure of assurance I wouldn't end up wearing my ink. NOTE, I do not use the disposable ink cartridges only adapters or dropper fill. So if I were to experience an ink mishap it would be more than just a tiny amount of permanent ink. The bag seems to be very well made. It is exactly as described, the only thing that may not be obvious is that the material is quite robust and there is no real give. So it works perfectly as a pencase and for a passport or smaller notebook. I would note recommend using it for something thick or round, like an apple or a larger size bottle of ink. However for a syringe full of ink along with half a dozen fountain pens it's superb! Will definitely buy again when need arises. This would also make for a great safe case for a smaller phone. However current flagship phones will not fit through the limiting zipper length. A future improvement of having the zipper go just around the corner to allow full length access would be an awesome improvement which would then be perfect for a newer model cell phone.
