This gown is absolutely incredible and very beautiful. It really is one of the most phenomenal dresses I have ever had and the workmanship is exquisite. It is constructed from yards and yards of bias cut black silk organza. Down the front of the dress is a trail of silk and velvet pink roses that are set along padded velvet stalks. The leaves along the vines are hand painted onto the silk in a gold paint and then each is detailed with a layer of gold sequins. These trail up to one side where they are met by three bands of black velvet that curve up and over the shoulders. More velvet bands the waist and the combination of textures and colors of the black is fantastic. The cut is pure old glamorous Hollywood. A fitted bodice is cut to follow every curve. It cinches in at the waist and this tops expansive, full skirts made from yards and yards of bias cut silk organza topping an inner more opaque black skirt. Everything about this gown is beautiful. The bodice is lightly boned and everything is done by hand. From the estate of a very wealthy woman this is a testament to gowns made in this time period. Presents as excellent condition but does have some small issues to mote below.

Fully lined in a black silky rayon. There is boning in the bodice. It closes with a side painted metal zipper on the interior layer and with snaps over this on the exterior layer. Hand work throughout. I see an old repair near the hem on the back top layer of the skirt. There is some repairs to the pleat work on the silk and some shattering along the very edge of the top of the bodice. I also see some slight shattering to the silk along the top layer where it closes at the side. Priced far lower then otherwise for this exquisite gown.

Waist: 11" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 17.5" from top of shoulder strap to waist
Skirt: 43" from waist to hem

amazing.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
WOW. I was really skeptical, but the other reviews are spot on: these are amazing firm pillows. I really hope they don't lose their firmness and become lumpy like other pillows tend to do. Excellent pillows for the price!!

These are very thick pillows.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

how good the product is
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.
