From 1939, to be exact, an exquisite evening gown in jet-black velvet with matching jacket fit for a big-screen starlet.

Dress has slim straps, attached sash, and flowing skirt. Bodice features tiny, star-shaped sequins stitched into a jaunty bow, and all the way around. We show the dress sleek and slim, with nothing beneath, but the hem sweep could easily accommodate a large crinoline. Lined at bodice. Dress closes at side with metal zipper. Sash closes at back with snaps and hook&eye at the permanent bow. Straps snap at front inner bodice, and thus are easily adjusted for a custom fit.

Jacket is full-on Hollywood glamour with grand, puffed, upper sleeves (but only small sleeve-head shoulder pads) slimming to elongated points that close with a row of covered buttons. Lots of strategic seaming for a flattering fit. Fully lined. Feels heavenly. 

Made at a boutique in West Virginia, U.S.A. Another gem from the Sherman estate. 

Labels: Mildred's
We found advertisements for Mildred's Dress Shop in Charleston, W.Va., from 1931. It was clearly a high-end boutique, as their least-expensive offerings, even deeply discounted, were more than $150 in today's money. This particular ensemble was purchased in 1939.

Fiber/Care: no tags, velvet feels like silk though may possibly be a cotton and/or rayon blend, dry-clean only

Condition: presents beautifully, but there are some glitches to note.

The dress's hem is chewed up and thinning along the bottom front. we'll let you have it hemmed to your desire length. any fabric salvaged in the process can be used for repairs and patches, as you see fit. with a black slip and the hem finished properly, the thin areas and tiny hole at left back hip would be invisible. but we recommend repairs to prolong the life of the dress. there's a spot of discoloration at the front sequins, as shown. I doubt it's permanent, but our dry-cleaner didn't manage to (or perhaps didn't try) to remove it.

The jacket has the one uncovered button, but otherwise is in excellent shape. we've retacked its lining along the neckline. no other flaws.

*We've had this gown & jacket set professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*

Good overall but bamboo whisk weak
I love this set it's so affordable but the bamboo whisk is so brittle. It breaks so easily but I like it so far.

High-Quality Matcha Set
This 7-piece Matcha Whisk Set is beautifully made and feels like a true traditional tea kit. The ceramic chawan bowl has a nice weight to it and makes the whole process feel special. The bamboo whisk and scoop are sturdy and work exactly as they should for creating smooth, frothy matcha. I liked that everything comes together as a complete set, so you don’t have to buy anything separately. It’s great for beginners or anyone who wants an authentic matcha routine at home. A wonderful set that makes preparing matcha easy and enjoyable.

Great matcha for the price!
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So delicious and has the perfect green color! The flavor is very mild and not bitter at all. Can definitely feel a buzz from the caffeine, but it’s very nice and subtle. Didn’t realize how small the can would be, and the can did come quite dented, but it’s still useable.
