vintage glitter dress c.1967 Gene Shelly Blue Crystal & Silver Sequin Stretch Knit Dress – Shrimpton CoutureIn its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded.

In its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded. After that was done the fabric would be sent back to California where the dresses were made. At the time, Hong Kong was doing the best sequin and bead work in the world outside of the specialty ateliers in Paris. Additionally, this dress is extra special as it is the same dress that was worn by Diana Ross and the Supremes for their 1967 appearance on The Hollywood Palace.

All of Gene Shelly's dresses start with the labels signature stretch knit fabric, this one is a beautiful pale baby blue that perfectly sets off the silver. Onto this are thousands and thousands of tightly spaced sequins. Each sequin has been meticulously applied by hand into its set place. Every inch of the fabric is covered with sequins and the dress glimmers in even the lowest of light. Set in among the silver sequins are big faceted blue paste crystals. These circle the neckline and upper shoulders like a built in piece of jewellery. Each crystal has been is hand sewn into place and they are large enough that they each have a 3D effect. Tiny blue glass seed beads outline the larger ones. More of these circle the ends of each sleeve and I love how the sleeves widen out. A slit up one side of the skirt is the perfect, final finish. The dimension and texture created from the result of all of this hand work is wonderful. The dress itself is immensely flattering with its figure hugging shape. The knit base makes it very comfortable to wear as it conforms to your curves. The knit is set on the bias so it shapes and molds to your figure once on.  Excellent condition.

The base is a baby blue stretch knit and the dress closes with a painted metal zipper at the back. The sequins are all applied by hand and I see no bare spots. The measurements are taken flat and shows the comfortable range of each spot. The stretch will allow for a variety of sizes and the dress will fall to approx mid-calf on most

Easy application
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
The stick’s shape makes it easy to apply on kids’ faces and provides solid sun protection. Like most zinc-based sunscreens, it leaves a noticeable white cast on the skin, which becomes less visible when rubbed in but doesn’t fully disappear.

My Go-To Brow Pencil!
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1), Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've purchased the e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil twice already, and I'll definitely be buying it again. As you can see in my photo, I used it all the way down to the last bit! The shade is a perfect match for my brows and gives them a very natural, filled-in look without appearing harsh or overly drawn. The built-in spoolie is a huge plus—it helps blend the product beautifully and keeps my brows looking soft and natural. For the price, the quality is amazing. It's easy to apply, lasts well throughout the day, and has become a staple in my makeup routine. Highly recommend!

Goes on smooth and great color
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Long lasting buildable color and glides on smoothly. Comparable quality and color payout to other more expensive brands. If you're not sure what color you are, the taupe is a good choice. The harder you press, the deeper the color. Great product for the price!

Brow perfection!

This turned out to be one of my best purchases and so economical! I have a subscription for these brow pencils. Easy to apply, excellent staying power and so easy to carry with you. The color is saturated and perfect for my fair skin and blonde hair. You will not be disappointed! What a value!

Perfect glide and included brush
Color: Neutral Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love this eyebrow pencil because of the perfect shade of brown, smooth glide, and included eyebrow brush on the other side! I always needs to comb up eyebrows up after filling them in and it is so convenient to have the brush at the other end of the pencil. The only thing I don't like is that the pencils do not last very long. If used daily, my pencil lasts about 4-6 weeks total. However, it is affordable for that time frame so I continue to buy it for the good quality.
