An important and museum worthy Bette Davis owned elaborately beaded and rhinestone studded sheer black silk dress dating back to the mid 1930's. As the star of The Little Foxes (1941), Now Voyager (1942), and All About Eve (1950), Bette Davis was one of the biggest names of the classic Hollywood era. She was not your typical leading lady, often playing outspoken and even unsympathetic characters. She won the Best Actress Award for both Dangerous (1935) and Jezebel (1938) and was the first thespian to accrue ten nominations. In 1977, Bette Davis became the fifth (and first female) recipient of the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. The award is given to a performer “whose work has stood the test of time.” This beloved icon, with her instantly recognizable heavy-lidded eyes, had a career that spanned almost 60 years.

Not only does this important slice of celebrity history come with official Certificate of Authenticity, it's truly one of the most gorgeous 1930's dresses I have ever seen. The entire garment is fashioned in 'light as a feather' sheer black silk chiffon that has been lavishly embellished with impressive beadwork and prong-set rhinestones that form an elegant floral motif. This sophisticated style of hand beadwork takes months to complete and can only be found in the highest level of couture. The matching sash belt is very figure flattering while the flowing swing skirt is so playful. My best guess is the couture label with her client information was placed in the underslip which is now long gone. It's truly a wearable work of art yet reads so incredibly modern. This is such a breathtaking, beautiful museum worthy piece of fashion and celebrity history that will instantly become a favorite in your collection.

This one of a kind Bette Davis owned couture custom made dress is in beautiful condition for it's age with no stains or alternations. After close inspection we found some very tiny holes to the silk which are hardly noticeable when worn. Please message for detailed pictures. Extraordinary attention to construction and couture detail. Perfectly working original neck snap closures in place. An investment piece that will only continue to increase in value.

Great Industrial Style Shelf - Easy Install and Sturdy Build
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 3 Tiers 24 Inch
I'm really happy with this 3-tier industrial pipe shelf bracket! It fits perfectly with my industrial chic/light steampunk decor theme and adds exactly the vintage industrial look I was going for. Installation: Took me about an hour to get it completely mounted, which was totally reasonable. All the necessary hardware was included, and the instructions were straightforward. I mounted it to drywall without any issues. Quality: The build quality feels solid and sturdy - definitely not flimsy like some wall shelves I've tried. It holds weight as expected, and I have confidence it'll support my display items long-term. Functionality: I'm using it to display various decorative items and knick-knacks, and it's perfect for that purpose. The three tiers give me good display space without taking up floor space. Style: The retro industrial pipe design is spot-on if you're going for that aesthetic. It really complements an industrial chic or steampunk theme well. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for functional floating shelves with industrial character. Good value for the quality and style you get.

Great product

Great item. I love the look, it’s perfect for displaying my collection. I didn’t actually set it up per the instructions, I modified it, but it’s like legos, you can get creative. I only attached the top and they hang. Use better fasteners though, I don’t trust the ones they provide

These were a great purchase! I bought two of them, and they look great in my son’s room, as he likes to collect and display action figures. The wood shelves and metal bars are of good quality and are also the perfect size and height. Also excellent value for the price!
