This vintage maxidress is done in a beautiful classic 1930s style, with a square neckline, flutter cape sleeves, and a shape that almost simulates that timeless 1930s bias-cut shape, but in a more structured linen fabric. I love how the unexpected ball fringe trim on the sleeves further emphasizes their beautifully draped shape. So many thoughtful and well-executed design details went into making this dress, and its very apparent. The bodice is very fitted and shaped with darts, and at the empire waist, there is a moss green velvet waistband, which forms a bow to one side in the back— the back's asymmetry is so elegant. I can't say enough how much I love this combination of powder blue and deep moss green— it's so chic and unexpected. The powder blue color make this an excellent "Something Blue" (and "Something Old") for a bride-to-be's bridal shower or other bridal event. Horse hair in the hem to gives the skirt an amazing shape— the hem is ever-so-slightly longer in the back, giving that really full, sweeping shape. Made in the USA; no fiber contents are listed but it feels like 100% heavy linen (or linen blend).

The Rare Antique Victorian Beaded Bag and Vintage Louis Rousselet Pearl Cluster Earrings pictured are also available.

OLEVS Men’s Watches Waterproof Dress Minimalist
Color: BlueFace-G5010
I got this watch for my husband, and it fits him perfectly. He’s retired police officer but still carries himself sharp, and this watch matches that classic, put-together look. The blue face is rich and eye-catching without being flashy. The Roman numerals and silver detailing give it a timeless, elegant style. It looks much more expensive than it is. The black leather-style band is comfortable and fits well. It’s lightweight enough for everyday wear but still feels solid and well made. The day and date feature is clear and easy to read, which is a nice practical touch. Whether he’s dressed up or just heading out casually, this watch pulls everything together. It’s a great combination of classic style and everyday function, that’s easy to set up.

Nice basic watch
Color: Black Watch-G5010
My father-in-law does not like new technology so when I saw this wat I knew he'd love it. It is your basic watch, works well and it's waterproof so very helpful as he fishes a lot! The overall appearance of the watch is really elegant; the watch itself is thinner than most which gives it a really nice look and I was really surprised at how good the quality is on it. It comes with the little tool to tack links out so you can adjust the fit and I feel like it looks nicer than his more expensive watches. So far, it's kept time well and he's been extremely happy with it!

Clean simple design looks sharp, a nice watch at a great price
Color: Black Face-G5010, Color: Black Face-G5010
This watch has a nice big face that looks elegant in simplicity. The hour indicators are raised and very shiny along with the hands. On the black face, it’s very easy to read. The one that I have has a soft strap so you don’t have to remove any links. It’s ready to wear out of the box. I don’t know that the strap is leather, but it was stiff and in working with it a little bit to loosen it, it appears that it will hold up well. I wondered if it would be fragile, but it doesn’t seem so. The soft strap makes it comfortable and maybe a little lighter so it’s easy to wear this watch. Overall, it just seems like a very well done watch and a great value and a very least a very fair value.

Better options for the price
Color: Black Watch-G5010, Color: Black Watch-G5010
While having a striking appearance, the band has many rough edges and pulls your arm hairs. It is a good size and looks good at the surface level, but it is very light almost to the point that it feels cheap or not durable. This makes the price feel unnecessary, especially when compared to other more substantial or quality feeling options at this price point and below. If you just need a watch, it’ll do but I felt that it fell short in places, especially the band.
