An incredibly rare and absolutely gorgeous Edward Molyneux black leaf-motif lace bias-cut gown dating back to the mid 1930's. This breathtaking museum worth black dress was a custom commission by Eleanor Jerusha Lawler Pillsbury. After a period working for the British fashion designer Lucile, Molyneux opened his fashion house in Paris and became known for his "never too rich or too thin" idle slim "refined at the edge of outrageous" look, frowning on superfluous decoration. He firmly believed in simplicity; subtle in color and perfect in cut. Molyneux dressed the likes of Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Margaret Leighton, and Vivien Leigh. His followers included Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain.
This exceptional beauty is fashioned in the highest quality black leaf-motif lace patterned lace with her original under slip still attached. I love the dramatic winged cut sleeve design which is really ahead of it's time. sleeve that flows into a large-scale side bow. The full-length trained skirting has complex couture pattern work insanely hard to do on bias-cut fabric. Eleanor Jerusha Lawler Pillsbury was also six-feet tall so this stunning dress is also very long. Extravagant garments from the 1930's remain a perennial favorite, perhaps because no other period combined such opulence with such effortless elegance. A rare slice of fashion history that will instantly become a favorite in your collection.

Measurements (varies due to bias-cut)
Bust: 31-33 inches
Waist: 24-26 inches
Hips: up to 35 inches
Total Length: 63 inches (not including train)

This mid 1930's Molyneux haute couture gown is in excellent unaltered condition with no stains or fade. Slips on over the head with hand-set side metal closures. Hand-stitching throughout. Only signs of age are some breaks to the leaf motif lace throughout and age wear to the original label.

Comfy cute undies
One of the first things I switched out when I went on my non toxic journey, I really feel like they help my hormones balance and they’re so comfy

Falls apart after 5 wash cycles
Terrible. Do not buy. Only last 5 wash cycles before unraveling and falling apart. Also, uncomfortable as hell.

Disappointing, durability despite softness
Size: X-Large, Color: Organic Cotton 2 (5 Black)
I really wanted to love these underwear. The material is incredibly soft and has a nice, thick feel that seemed promising at first. Unfortunately, the quality doesn’t hold up. After about 12 washes, the seams started coming apart, and within two months, I had to throw away two of the five pairs because the fabric separated from the waistband. It’s frustrating because they were so comfortable initially, but the poor stitching makes them a bad investment. I wouldn’t recommend these unless the company improves their durability or you’re OK with losing One or two pair of the five

Super soft and comfortable!
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I used to wear thongs, but now find them incredibly uncomfortable. The last few times I've tried to buy new underwear, the sizing was either way off (I'm a medium, but gave up after having to return them for a large and then extra large) or the quality was horrible (two brands stretch waaaay out and they can fall down while wearing them (I have larger ass-ets, so they shouldn't start to slide down during use). I tried these after buying some bamboo pyjamas and I love them! They are incredibly soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I can use them all day, and they work well, whether I'm lounging on the couch or wearing them under my spandex shorts at the gym, they don't ride up or slide down. They are both comfortable and look sexy, while providing support in all the right places. I haven't had them too long, so I can't speak on the durability, but they appear to be of good quality and I plan to order more, this time without the band.
