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....

Lightweight Layer That Works
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
This pullover has been a solid option for cooler days without feeling bulky or restrictive. The lightweight fabric is breathable and comfortable, especially for movement, and it works well both on the golf course and for casual wear. The mock neck and half-button design give it a slightly polished look, while the pockets are genuinely useful and not just decorative. It fits true to size and layers easily over a tee or under a vest. Overall, it’s a practical and comfortable piece for active or everyday wear.

Fits and looks great
Color: Black, Size: Large
This golf pullover will be great for the upcoming golf season. The fit (Large) is excellent. The sleeves may be on the long side for some, but they can easily be pushed up the arm or cuffed on the arm. The chest and shoulders fit like a tailor-made pullover. The length is shorter than a normal pullover because it is meant for golfing. So kudos here. The material seems durable and the snaps work better than buttons or a zipper. The material seems comfortable and durable. I give this pullover high marks and will get a lot of use wearing it on the course.

Comfortable, Quick Drying, but Shipping Creases Were Difficult to Remove
Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large
This is a nice looking lightweight, long sleeve casual shirt. It is made of primarily polyester with a little spandex. My husband said the shirt fit as expected and was comfortable. He noted the sleeves are a little long on him, which makes me believe it would fit a tall person nicely as my husband is of average height (5‘8“). The shirt arrived in a vacuum pack plastic bag which caused it to have significant wrinkles (see photos). I initially tried tossing it in my dryer on the “rapid refresh“ steam cycle to see if it would remove the wrinkles. The shirt, came out with virtually no change to the wrinkles,. I then tried laundering and drying it to see if that would remove the wrinkles. Again, virtually no change. Finally, I pressed the shirt as per the care label. I mostly pressed it from the wrong side, or, in areas where that wasn’t feasible, I used a press cloth. I ended up using the “silk” setting on my iron because the synthetic setting would not remove the wrinkles. After pressing, the shirt, looks nice. I’ve included the one picture of it after I pressed it. I’m hoping that the shirt, will be as resistant to wrinkling as it was to having the wrinkles removed! Also, I noticed that the shirt seems to be well constructed. I’ve included one photo I took while pressing it from the wrong side that shows how nice the seams look. Pros: Comfortable Fits as expected. Attractive color Quality construction Launders nicely Dries quickly Cons: Shipping wrinkles resistant to removal On the upper end of price range for comparable shirts

Comfortable and stylish
I wanted something to wear in warmer weather that was full length and offered some protection against the sun when working and playing outdoors (I'm a ginger so this is a real problem for or else I turn into a lobster). I had gotten some very nice slacks that I can wear and still look professional, and this shirt complements those very well. This is a nice, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt that you can wear pretty much anywhere outdoors and is perfect for golf or frisbee or even just corporate picnics. It's not going to overheat you if you wear this in the sun in summertime as it's loose enough that air still flows. It's only SPF 30, so I guess if you need more than that you'll either need lotion or another shirt? It's machine washable and as my pictures show I washed mine and all the wrinkles promptly disappeared, which I though was a hug win. I ordered the size I normally wear (XL) and what the sizing charts suggested and this does fit as expected. The fabric feels a little stretchy, but it's not like a pair of cotton sweatpants or anything, just enough give to allow plenty of comfort while moving around doing normal things. For less than $50 I have a nice, business casual pullover I can wear lots of places and feel dressed up enough to fit in.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim. The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount. While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.
