Wonderful black silk taffeta halter gown brings visions of days when women swept into rooms. Made of a good weight black silk taffeta the gown makes that delicious rustling sound at the slightest movement. The skirt is quite full - there are yards and yards of fabric in it. You could if you wish, increase the appearance of volume and where a petticoat or crinoline under it. The bodice is sleek and fitted with a pretty flat pleat detail running across the bust. It has light boning through the front and the side zipper means the back is left unbroken. The simple halter strap slips over the neck or you can tuck it and wear it strapless! Fantastic early piece in easy to style basic black!
Bust: 18" when measured flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Waist: 14" when measured flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Skirt: 45" from waist seam to bottom hem.
The dress is unlined and closes with a side painted zipper and the halter slips over the head and around the neck. There are some small flaws and it is priced accordingly. It was let out slightly at each side of the bust and at the back and there are fainted rows where the original stitches were on all vertical seams. There is scuffing and faint fading here and there along the hem and some small pinholes. These are all minor and expected in a piece this age. It is stable and wearable.
Modern Sizing equivalent: SML (4-6)

Beautiful!

The sturdiness of these brackets and the quality are so good. I was worried due to other reviews I had read but these did not disappoint. They are beautiful and perfect length and weight. They are angles perfect for our shelves and a great value for as many as you get.

Nice sturdy quality!

I made my own shelves. Stained the wood & needed brackets. Ordered a variety, different styles. These were the winner. The really added to the look, style of the shelves. Made the shelves beautiful! These reasonably priced brackets make my shelves look expensive and super high quality.

Beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold
Sturdy, well contructed, and an even natural gold finish. Come with two different wall anchors and brass screws. Installation is easy. Just take your time measuring and drilling holes. I purchased finished white shelves from the closet section of home depot, $7 a piece. Gives them a nice finished look. They measure 3/4” x 11.75” x 24”. The brackets are 12” deep so there is a slight gap at the front but its not noticeable. Highly reccomend.

Find something else
Size: 4 Inch, Color: Black
I wish zero stars was an option. The quality was mediocre at best with 2 of the brackets not a proper 90 degrees and the supplied screws do NOT fit the supplied drywall anchors. They are WAY too small. What a complete waste of time and energy. I stupidly was willing to overlook the 2 defective brackets because I really only needed 3 for my shelf. That’s when I discovered that the supplied screws are too small for the supplied anchors. Now I have 6 holes in my wall that need to be patched from the 3 brackets I tried to use. Luckily I was able to back the anchors out of the wall so I could fully return this garbage to Amazon for a refund. Find something else and pass this by. Why can’t anything be easy anymore? At least Amazon has a good return policy but I really wish they would find a way to vett these products better before allowing them to list on the platform. Tomorrow off to UPS to return.
