This is a lovely black chiffon cocktail dress dating to the early 1960s, maybe late 1950s.  The ILGWU union label that is affixed to the interior was in use from 1955 until 1963.  The label reads “Carol Robins” with a graphic of a cocktail glass, so definitely, this dress was meant for cocktail parties.  Carol Robins appears to have been a popular brand for party dresses through the 1950s and 60s, but I haven’t found any information on the company.

The dress has a high rounded neckline, short sleeves and is made in a knee length.  It is constructed with a semi-transparent black chiffon fabric over a rayon taffeta base.  The top of the base taffeta lining is cut in a pointed zig-zag design, front and back, to wonderful effect.  It has two spaghetti straps.  The upper bodice, back and sleeves are chiffon only.   The dress has a defined waistline and the skirt is gathered in tucks below the waist so that the skirt falls in drapes.  The chiffon at the upper back hooks at the neckline and forms a peek-a-boo gap.  The dress closes at the back with a fine tooth metal zipper.

Sizing: No size is indicated, but according to my measurements, this should fit a extra small or small size - please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  33” around, taken under the arms

Waist:  24” around

Hips:  46” around, meant to fall loosely

Overall length:  39", measured flat from the top of the spaghetti straps to the hemline

Condition:  It is in very good, clean condition with no wear, tear, holes, stains or odors.  This dress has been very well cared for and stored over the years.  

This is a gorgeous dress - sophisticated look, sure to be noticed!

Soft fuzzy polyester king sized fleece blanket with no static electricity
Size: King (90x102 Inch), Color: Grey, Size: King (90x102 Inch), Color: Grey
I ordered the gray color because it was cheaper than the other colors, but it looks nice. This blanket was actually a lot nicer than I was expecting. It is pretty thick, very soft, fuzzy on both sides, fits the king sized bed, and keeps me warm with little extra weight. It is breathable and doesn't make me sweaty. The price was really very good, better than what I saw when shopping in local big stores. This feels great on the skin, and is much more comfortable than heavy wool blankets or quilts. When folded up it doesn't take up much room. It fits well in the washing machine. One of the best features is that it doesn't seem to generate static electricity even in dry air. In general I don't care for synthetic fibers, but I'm making an exception with this blanket, which stays clean and fluffy after extended use. I've had it 2.5 months with no problems and no manufacturing defects detected. The hem stitching is tidy and strong, very neat. I'm thinking of ordering a smaller one to keep in the car for emergencies and outings. I wish all the colors were a similar low price. I have recommended this blanket to friends.

Best blankets ever
Size: King (90x102 Inch), Color: Navy
Gorgeous blanket. I have many of them. They wash up great and look good. They are soft and warm. I only returned this one because the color was off. It looked more like a light to medium blue, but is actually a very light blue.

Super soft, cozy and lightweight blanket
Size: King (90x102 Inch), Color: White
I absolutely love my blanket. It’s super soft and very comfortable, and it looks really beautiful. It keeps you warm, but it’s not very thick it’s on the lighter side. Even so, I highly recommend it

Beauty Quality Excellent Price!
Size: Queen (90x90 Inch), Color: Olive
Wonderful quality blanket! It’s light weight, warm without being heavy, beautiful rich color. Super fast shipping. Came in a smallish box and I was a little worried it would be cheap, but being experienced with items that come with the air sucked out so I waited to see. Sure enough, once the plastic was off it fluffed out and I popped it in the dryer for 5 minutes and all the wrinkles were gone too! I absolutely don’t need a bed spread because the finish looks like expensive silk velvet! I’m buying more for the other bedrooms! I ordered a Queen, olive, 90”x90”, price is incredible and I would have paid double to get this kind of quality! Love the rich feel and gorgeous color of this blanket. I know they call it olive but it is actually a deep luxurious fern from an untouched dark forest filled with fairy houses and wonderous beings! I’m getting another, sigh…

Exactly as described
Size: Throw XL (50x70 Inch), Color: Navy
I wanted to get the little longer size, to help cover my feet while I sleep, because I sleep in a recliner due to back issues. Wow! The material is super soft, and keeps just at the right temperature of warmth at night, so the material breathes well. The extra 10 inches is a godsend now.. My feet stay warm all night long now. So the fit is perfect! The quality of the blanket is great, I’ve had no problems with it. Although my white watch band is now blue.. so I guess the color likes to bleed a bit. I haven’t washed it yet, but I will wash it either alone or with dark colors, because I believe it will bleed its color a bit in the wash & perhaps in the dryer. Still, with it being so comfortable and soft, I would highly recommend this blanket to everyone!
