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.*

Great solution to a crowded cabinet
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
This kit is a game changer. Saves a ton of space in the cupboard, and although there is some "flex" when you pull it out, it really is very stable and holds up well against frequent use. It is super easy to find the spice you're looking for with the easy to read labels, and I think they have a designated label for just about every spice imaginable. Regardless of what cuisine you cook, I think you'll be able to organize your collection in a really aesthetic, high visible way, while reclaiming some cupboard space.

Love it! Can’t wait to buy a second one!
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
Worth every penny!! This rack is pricy, but it’s awesome. Definitely wish the price was a little better, but I still plan on buying a second one to fit more of my spices. Super easy to install and the glide feature is really smooth. Bottles and lids are quality material and overall really pretty design. Love that it comes with TONS of spice label options for every spice you could imagine! Fit in my standard depth cabinet that is 12” deep (and I have inset cabinet doors and there was still plenty of room for it). You can easily pull it out and read the labels.

Aesthetic & Functional
Size: Left Facing
Good use of vertical space. It feels very secure and sturdy once mounted. It comes with everything you need, there’s a label for every spice and variation of that spice you can think of (different labels for the same spice but whole vs ground) and plenty of jars, with a few extra. Very well thought out. The tops were also standard enough to fit some of my existing spice jars so I didn’t even need to transfer those ones I just swapped lids and/or added a label. I previously had a different pull out spice rack with two flat shelves but it was a pain to find a specific spice without moving some out of the way, and it held maybe half as many jars as this one. This is an easy organization project that will free up a ton of horizontal cabinet space and makes finding spices while cooking significantly easier. If you do want to use your existing jars, make sure they have a flat side, as cylinder shaped jars roll around a bit when you slide it out. I just transferred my spices with round jars into the provided jars so wasn’t an issue for me! Really great value, especially considering how much the kit comes with!

Great product!
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
This was a great buy! It's sturdy, easy to install (I used the sticky pads), and works just as described. It created so much room in that spice cabinet - and I can finally easily find what I'm looking for. The price was great too: two sturdy slide-out racks for $20. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful organization for cabinets
Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack
Organizer wonderful for cabinets in kitchen and bath. Used in kitchen first for spices. did not use screws, just the adhesive so we didn't damage the cabinet. They slide easily and makes all spices easily accessible. Bought more for the bath room and use them for vitamins, over the counter meds and prescription meds. works like a dream and makes the cabinet very organized. Cannot put too large of containers on bottom of the organizer and perhaps top ( depending on height of your shelves ) easy installation
