An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Quality shelf!
Size: 10in, Color: Walnut
I recently bought the Oakwood Corner Shelf, and I’m thrilled with it. Its stylish and functional design makes it an excellent use of an otherwise neglected corner in my living room. The rich and smooth oakwood finish gives the shelf a luxurious look that complements my other furniture. The assembly process was easy, and the shelf feels sturdy and well-built. Surprisingly, it’s quite spacious for its small size, accommodating a variety of small décor items, books, and even a potted plant without any wobbling. Overall, the Oakwood Corner Shelf is a fantastic addition to any home. If you’re seeking a space-saving solution that doesn’t compromise on quality or style, this shelf is a great choice. I highly recommend it!

Excellent
Size: 7in, Color: Oak, Size: 7in, Color: Oak
This solid oak floating corner shelf is beautiful and well made. The wood feels sturdy and high quality, and the round end gives it a clean, modern look. It was easy to mount and fits perfectly in a corner without taking up much space. It looks excellent with my philodendron — the natural wood really makes the greenery pop. Great size for small plants, a photo frame, or a speaker. Perfect accent for a bedroom, kitchen, or living room. Highly recommend!

Good quality, see pic for scale help!
Size: 8.7in, Color: White, Size: 8.7in, Color: White
I haven’t hung this shelf yet, but it seems to be good quality wood and seems easy to install. I did have to return and reorder the next biggest size because the initial shelf I bought was too small. I couldn’t find anywhere that listed how the dimensions were measured so I’m including a pic for reference! Hopefully it helps someone out!
