This is a fabulous vintage evening gown made by legendary designer Edward Henry Molyneux.  Molyneux opened his fashion house in Paris in 1919.  His designs were known for their simple, highly refined lines, devoid of extraneous decoration and being at the height of elegant sophistication.  He dressed European royalty and was a favorite of actresses Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Gertrude Lawrence and Vivien Leigh.  He was friends with Noel Coward and his proteges included Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain.

This dress is made of a superior quality silk velvet that is stamped on the interior with “Made in France” and with “Marque Lyon”.  It is made in a sleeveless style with sweetheart neckline and double shoulder strap that is affixed to the front bodice through two openings at the top edge.  The waistline is defined and the skirt is constructed so as to flare to the hemline, creating a train effect at the back.   

Label: Molyneux

Color: Black       Material: Silk velvet

Sizing: No size is indicated - it should fit a medium size, but please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust: 36”     Waist:  29     Hips:  38” around, meant to fall in a draped style

Hemline: 118” around and the Overall length: 59", measured flat

Condition:  It is in excellent condition with no wear, tear, pulls, stains or odors - the only issue is that someone advised me that there was a size alteration.  It’s possible that the dress was either let out or taken in, but I don’t see any obvious sign of this.

This is an exceptional quality dress, very rare to find an example of Molyneux design from the 1930s.....fabulous fabric and gorgeous style, movie star worthy....

Sweet dreams with Beckham Hotel pillows!
Size: Queen (Adjustable Foam)
Pillows come overstuffed so you can adjust the amount of foam and support. I took extra foam out for use in other pillows or for comfort adjustment. Outside of pillow is washable and just zips to get on and off. Inside of pillow also zips for easy access to foam. Pillow is great for head and neck positioning for optimal posture, alignment, and unloading of weight on neck and shoulders for muscle relaxation and pain relief for deeper sleep.

Good quality and adjustable comfort
Size: Queen (Adjustable Foam)
Well-constructed and packed with lots of foam pieces. As received, the pillow is firm and well stuffed. I would up removing a good amount of stuffing for a custom fit -- as recommended by the pillow maker. Now, the pillow is extremely comfortable. Due to being able to customize the fill and making this pillow comfortable to my sleeping style, I am happy with this purchase and would recommend its purchase.

I like it
Size: Queen (Adjustable Foam)
I have been trying to find the "perfect" pillow. I am not sure if this would count as the perfect pillow, but it is better than my previous pillow. I have not been waking up with a stiff neck and soreness across my shoulders. It is more firm than I thought it would be. But so far, so good.

Decent firm pillow
Size: Queen (Adjustable Foam)
I've been using the shredded foam pillow since January. At first it was too packed/firm, so I had to remove some of the stuffing from mine. When fully full, it is a chore to get it in/out of our standard pillow cases. Over time, the pillow has developed a divot from where my head rests the most, so I'll need to fully remove/fluff/reinsert the foam to get it back into shape. Overall, I find the comfort of this pillow just okay. It absorbs your head heat even in the winter, so if you prefer a cool pillow, I don't recommend it. It does seem to be a good quality pillow otherwise. I expect I'll be able to use this one for a few years without it falling apart. It doesn't smell bad either. My husband really likes the pillow, but I've also seen him sleep comfortably on very old pillows that have turned into pancakes... so do with that information what you will.
