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.*

Great dressy sneaker to wear with business casual or jeans
Size: 11, Color: British Tan/Ivry
I got these for my husband to wear with jeans or business casual dress pants. They look sharp and professional and dress up jeans if you're going out. He says they fit comfortably and he can walk on them all day without his feet hurting. They are beautiful genuine leather so they don't get stinky. I got my husband's normal size and they fit to size.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort, Style, and Performance — Perfect for Daily Runs and All-Day Wear!
Size: 11, Color: Black/Dark Smoke Grey
I purchased the Nike Men’s Quest 6 for my son, and he’s been absolutely thrilled with them. From the moment he put them on, he noticed how lightweight and supportive they felt — a great balance between cushioning and responsiveness. He wears them both for running and casual outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. The breathable mesh upper keeps his feet cool even during longer runs, and the midsole cushioning absorbs impact nicely without feeling too soft or unstable. The grip on the outsole provides solid traction on roads and gym floors, giving confidence with every step. Design-wise, they look sleek and modern — the classic Nike styling pairs well with both athletic and casual outfits. After several weeks of use, the shoes still look almost new, showing how well they’re built. Pros: ✅ Lightweight yet supportive — great for running or walking ✅ Comfortable fit right out of the box ✅ Excellent breathability and cushioning ✅ Durable construction that holds up with daily use ✅ Stylish design that transitions easily from workout to casual wear Cons: • Runs slightly narrow, so consider sizing up if between sizes Overall, the Nike Quest 6 offers exceptional comfort and quality for the price. My son says they’re some of the most comfortable shoes he’s ever worn — perfect for both training and everyday wear. If you’re looking for a reliable running shoe that combines performance, durability, and style, this is an excellent choice.

Excellent Running Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Black/University Red/White
The Nike Quest 6 has been a great fit right out of the box. The sizing felt true, and the shoe wrapped comfortably without feeling tight or loose. It was easy to get a secure, natural fit from the first wear. Quality is solid for everyday use. The materials feel well put together, and the shoe holds up nicely for walking and light running. It feels dependable and comfortable for regular wear. What really stood out was the value. The price was much better than what I saw in retail stores, especially for a Nike shoe that performs this well. It’s an easy way to get a reliable running shoe without paying full store pricing. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made shoe that delivers a lot for the cost.
