This elegant vintage evening dress by Montreal designer Lillian Farrar is a striking example of sophisticated 1940s couture glamour. Crafted in fluid black silk crepe, the gown features padded shoulders, overlapped cap sleeves, an asymmetric neckline and elaborate black crystal beaded appliqué on the right shoulder and along the right neckline, down the left side of the skirt, and down the back in a design strongly evocative of Art Deco elegance and Old Hollywood evening wear.

The silhouette is long, graceful, and architectural, balancing strong wartime-era padded shoulders with soft draping through the body and hips. The asymmetrical neckline creates a particularly elegant effect, while the dimensional black beadwork catches the light subtly against the matte crepe background. The result is dramatic without being flashy — exactly the sort of refined glamour associated with high-end 1940s cocktail and formal fashions.

The dress cinches internally with hidden waist ties, helping to shape the silhouette while maintaining the fluid drape of the fabric. The back is especially beautiful, with a trailing arrangement of black beaded motifs descending diagonally from the shoulder to the waistline.

Label reads Lillian Farrar Montreal Creation.  This is an earlier Lillian Farrar label.  Farrar started off as a seamstress during the 1940s.  She started on St Lawrence St., moved to a suite in the Ritz Carlton and then, in 1946, she opened her first salon, located right downtown on fashionable Peel Street in Montreal, next to the Mount Royal Sheraton Hotel.  By 1957 she had grown her business to 400 regular clients and had a reputation for being ahead of the trends, even introducing styles before the Paris fashion houses.  She designed a coat for Princess Elizabeth, prior to her becoming Queen Elizabeth II, on the occasion of the Royal Visit to Canada in 1951.

They keep sheets from getting greasy.
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray
These are good. I like that I can put lotion on my heels when I go to bed and not get my sheets greasy. They do a good job on that and a pretty good job keeping the moisturizer on. Since the toes are open, they aren’t hot. The gel doesn’t seem to do anything, though.

These socks are so cool and I have used them every night for a week and can see a difference. I am using them with the gold bond heel lotion.

love these for soft feet!!
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
these are great. My feet are soft already! What I like best is my feet. Don't get hot in them because the heels and toes are exposed.
