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....

Cute angel to add to your garden decor...
I added this angel statue to my porch, and it’s even sweeter in person than I expected. The resin feels sturdy and well‑made for the cost, and the colorful little birds look charming during the day and glow softly at night once the solar panel has charged. It’s lightweight enough to move around easily but still feels solid, and the details on the angel give it a gentle, peaceful look that fits nicely among plants or on a small table. After a full day in the sun, the lights come on automatically at dusk, and the warm glow makes the space feel cozy and inviting. It’s a lovely decorative piece that also makes a thoughtful gift.

Very cute angel!
My Mom collects angels, and also loves spending her summers gardening. This is the perfect statue to put in her flower garden! It is lightweight, and the birds light up at night, thanks to the solar panels that charge it during the day. The different colored birds all light up, and look adorable. It was well built and looks nice on a porch or in a garden. You need to be careful where you put it, because it will blow over in high winds. It hasn't broken, after being blown over so it is durable! The faces doesnt have as much detail as I would like, but it does look the same as the photos in the description. Since its mostly viewed from far away, it doesn't need a lot of detail. Its easy to tell what it is from far away and it looks great and will match most decors.

Precious Angel Garden Statue with 5 Birds!!!!!!!
This garden angel reminded me of an angel that my mother had in her garden. My mother and I both loved birds so when I saw the angel had five birds perched on her arms and head, I had to have it! The angel is so pretty and delicate with her arms raised into the air, yet it is made of resin to withstand the outside elements. The birds are in color, finished with protect coating. There is a blue, red, green and two yellow birds, and they are SOLAR so the birds light up at night!!!!! You do need to turn on the switch and place the angel in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours of charging before using. The birds will light up automatically at night for 8-10 hours since the light is automatically photosensitive. The angel is on the small side at right under 12” tall so I will put her in one of my flowerpots on the deck instead of out in the garden on the ground. I placed her outside in a pot, but I may keep her inside the house where I can see her all the time. As long as the angel gets light during the day, she will be charged to light up at night. The angel would make a great gift for any occasion!

Fun
Color: Green
Was fun to play tug of war with my dog till she completely destroyed it by taking out all the stuffing, squeakers, and ripped the limbs off. Soft before dog droll and weather stiffened it. She liked to leave it outside for some odd reason like her other toys.

Surprisingly Durable, Very Soft, and All of My Dogs Immediately Loved It
Color: Green
I honestly expected this to be just another cute plush squeaky toy that would last maybe a day or two in a house with multiple dogs, especially larger breeds, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well this one has held up so far. The fabric is very soft without feeling overly thin or cheaply stuffed, and the toy arrived fully intact with no strange chemical smell right out of the packaging, which I always appreciate when buying toys for dogs that immediately put everything in their mouths. The stitching also looked much better than many inexpensive plush toys I’ve purchased in the past. All of my dogs immediately gravitated toward it — from my Dobermans to my smaller dogs — which honestly says a lot because they can be very selective about textures and squeakers. The squeaker itself is loud enough to keep their attention without being one of those painfully obnoxious high-pitched squeaks that make you regret purchasing the toy five minutes later. I also appreciate that the fabric is soft enough for indoor play and carrying around the house without feeling overly rough or stiff the way some “durable” dog toys can feel. It has held up surprisingly well to daily tossing, carrying, squeaking, and general chaos so far. For the price, I actually think this is a very good value, especially if you have multiple dogs or dogs that enjoy plush comfort toys but still like squeakers and interactive play. It arrived quickly, packaged well, and looked exactly like the listing photos upon arrival. Very happy overall and would absolutely purchase additional styles again. #FoundItOnAmazon #AmazonFinds #DogMom #DobermanMom #DogToys #PetSupplies #DogLife #LargeBreedDogs #SmallDogs #DogLovers #PetLifestyle #EverydayFavorites #LuxeLife
