1940s cocktail dress 1940s Spectacular "Gloria" Silk Crepe Swing Dress – Shrimpton CoutureMade from an amazing printed stretch silk crepe that is cut on the bias so has a touch of stretch to it, this dress is one of the best 1940s dresses I have seen. It is tagged as a "registered Gloria dress" but though I have seen this label before I cannot not find any firm information on it. It is a beauty though so this company was definitely doing high end work. It was also definitely stored properly for all these years ,as the colors are as crisp

Made from an amazing printed stretch silk crepe that is cut on the bias so has a touch of stretch to it, this dress is one of the best 1940s dresses I have seen. It is tagged as a "registered Gloria dress" but though I have seen this label before I cannot not find any firm information on it. It is a beauty though so this company was definitely doing high end work. It was also definitely stored properly for all these years ,as the colors are as crisp and vibrant as the day it was made. The base is a deep navy blue and then onto this is are beautiful floral bouquets made of little rounded cornered squares of multiple colors that just  pop off the blue base! The cut is fitted with a high but V neck and extensive pleating along each shoulder and again just above the waist. The waist nips in and is accented even more with an attached panel of fabric that turns into two extremely ling ties that you can wrap and accentuate the waist even more wit. The skirt is cut straight with just a touch of extra fabric worked through the bottom of the vertical seaming so you can move with ease. It truly is a forties femme fatale dress under its floral exterior! Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with side snaps. Attached ties at the waist.

Perfect heel!
Size: 11, Color: Gold/Glitter
Love these heels! I bought the gold and wasn’t expecting them to be most glittery. They are beautiful and comfortable! The heel is chunky enough that these walk like a wedge but don’t look like the heels from the lay 90’s. Love them and will be buying in different colors n

Great heels for beginners or comfy shoe girlies
Size: 11, Color: Nude/Clear
I am a sneaker/comfy shoe girlie. I bought these heels because it had so many great reviews. Baby!! They do not disappoint. I am 5’10 230lbs. I bought these in a size 11. This by far is the most comfortable heel I have ever worn. They are great and so comfortable to wear. Usually I bring an extra pair of flats to change into at the end of the night. No need for that with these. They are easy to walk in and they hold my weight. I love that they run a little big, I love that they have little extra space for wiggle room in the back. The only issue I had was they don’t run wide for an 11 so the toe strap was a little tight but it’s nothing a little stretching can’t help with (blow dryer and YouTube videos). Also it’s a quality shoe for a great price. Definitely will buy more in different colors.

Love these!
Size: 9, Color: Champagne-satin
I purchased these to attend a wedding as a guest. I wear a size 9 sneaker and ordered a size 9 in these. They fit well and are fairly comfortable during a quick try on and walk around. Theyre a little slick on the bottom but have a textured sole to help which i love. The color is so pretty and is true to what is pictured. I haven't worn these for an extended period of time, but feel as if they will be fairly comfortable for wedding wear. I love the chunk heel as it provides more support to walk around on. Overall great heel!

Beautiful Shoes, Bring Band-Aids
Size: 8, Color: Gold/Glitter
I bought these for a wedding and, let me tell you, they passed the ultimate test: an entire night of dancing like I was still in my twenties. The shoes are cute, surprisingly sturdy, and looked great with my dress. They made it through hours of standing, walking, and questionable dance-floor decisions. That said... my feet were not thrilled with me afterward. I ended up with blisters that seemed determined to become a permanent part of my personality for the next couple of weeks. Would I wear these as an everyday shoe? Absolutely not. Would I wear them to another wedding? Probably. Were they worth the cost? Definitely. Just do yourself a favor and pack some blister pads in your purse before you hit the dance floor.
