From 1939, to be exact, an exquisite evening gown in jet-black velvet with matching jacket fit for a big-screen starlet.

Dress has slim straps, attached sash, and flowing skirt. Bodice features tiny, star-shaped sequins stitched into a jaunty bow, and all the way around. We show the dress sleek and slim, with nothing beneath, but the hem sweep could easily accommodate a large crinoline. Lined at bodice. Dress closes at side with metal zipper. Sash closes at back with snaps and hook&eye at the permanent bow. Straps snap at front inner bodice, and thus are easily adjusted for a custom fit.

Jacket is full-on Hollywood glamour with grand, puffed, upper sleeves (but only small sleeve-head shoulder pads) slimming to elongated points that close with a row of covered buttons. Lots of strategic seaming for a flattering fit. Fully lined. Feels heavenly. 

Made at a boutique in West Virginia, U.S.A. Another gem from the Sherman estate. 

Labels: Mildred's
We found advertisements for Mildred's Dress Shop in Charleston, W.Va., from 1931. It was clearly a high-end boutique, as their least-expensive offerings, even deeply discounted, were more than $150 in today's money. This particular ensemble was purchased in 1939.

Fiber/Care: no tags, velvet feels like silk though may possibly be a cotton and/or rayon blend, dry-clean only

Condition: presents beautifully, but there are some glitches to note.

The dress's hem is chewed up and thinning along the bottom front. we'll let you have it hemmed to your desire length. any fabric salvaged in the process can be used for repairs and patches, as you see fit. with a black slip and the hem finished properly, the thin areas and tiny hole at left back hip would be invisible. but we recommend repairs to prolong the life of the dress. there's a spot of discoloration at the front sequins, as shown. I doubt it's permanent, but our dry-cleaner didn't manage to (or perhaps didn't try) to remove it.

The jacket has the one uncovered button, but otherwise is in excellent shape. we've retacked its lining along the neckline. no other flaws.

*We've had this gown & jacket set professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*

ya get what ya pay for.
Size: 58mm Fits Breville Dual Boiler/Oracle/Gaggia/E61
WDT tool came with bent needles and they are spaced too closely together and are too long to maintain position and bend way too easily and its receiver is a bit short and not weighty enough to be stable with its aspect ratio. Tamper purports to be a calibrated force tamper while it is a simpler spring-loaded depth-setting tamper ground distribution tool has a gap that gathers grounds if it is not perfectly closed. portafilter screen is pretty dang good the dose funnel chamfer is not at the same height as the rim of the portafilter, making me overfill for estimate fits my Casabrews Ultimate setup pretty well. blower bulb is woefully undersized to produce enough force to eject extraneous grounds

Simple, high-quality solution that makes the transition from grinding to tamping much cleaner!
Color: Black, Size: 58mm, Color: Black, Size: 58mm
I wanted to streamline our espresso workflow. I added the Normcore Magnetic Dosing Funnel V2 to our kit because loading up the portafilter & using the WDT was causing a mess on the counter. This funnel stays put and looks great. is it required? No. Does it work great? Yes! The Good: What Works Well Rock-solid attachment: The magnets are impressively strong. It snaps onto the portafilter and doesn't budge. WDT’s Best Friend: It provides the necessary height to use a WDT tool without making a mess. Low Profile: Unlike some "tall" funnels, this one is compact enough to fit under many grinder dispensers while still attached to the portafilter. Premium Finish: The matte black anodized aluminum feels incredibly durable and matches high-end espresso gear perfectly. The Not-So-Good: Price Point: It is definitely a premium option. You can find plastic versions for less, but they won't have the same weight or magnetic security. Pro Tips: Maintenance: This is anodized metal; do not put it in the dishwasher. Just wipe it with a dry cloth or a dedicated coffee brush. Magnet Care: Keep the bottom magnets clean. If coffee oils or grounds build up on the magnets, the "snap" won't feel as secure. Compatibility: Make sure you pick the right size!

Reduces Mess, Lightweight, Strong Magnets, Fit is OK
Color: Black, Size: 58mm
I've been stubborn about buying a funnel - yet another coffee tool to simplify and optimize, right? But, it really does reduce the mess when using the WDT tool. The magnets are quite good, a different brand funnel (with magnets) wouldn't even stick to my portafilter. The fit is OK - it does slide around on my 58mm basket if I move the funnel. But, that hasn't been an issue because the magnets keep it in place. The shape is also a bit more tasteful than most of the generic funnels. Oh, and beware - if you're grinding directly into your portafilter basket (hands-free), the funnel may not fit into your grinder's portafilter-holder. This was the case with my DF54 grinder. Overall, I'd say it was worth the extra ~$4 USD over generic competitors.

Great coffee dosing funnel
Color: Silver, Size: 58mm
Normcore products seem to all be high quality. This funnel works very well. Strong magnets hold it securely to the portafilter. My only small complaint is I wish it was just slightly taller on this 58mm version. Just a few millimeters of additional side height would be a great advantage at times when the fine ground coffee decides to come out of the dosing cup in a clump. This current model still makes it much better than with no funnel and does the job quite well.

Very nice funnel
Color: Black, Size: 58mm
58mm fits perfect on a Pullman basket. Good quality as well. Be careful the magnets are strong the benefit of this design though is, it is a tamp through. Keeps the mess to a minimum transferring from dosing cup to portafilter, keeps your grounds in the basket during distribution as well.
