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.

Good case, only two issues
Color: notebook black, Color: notebook black
The case is very good and the keyboard is light and easy to set up, the mousepad isn't like your typical Chromebook or laptop but works just as well. I only have two issues with this case so far, it was really hard trying to fit my iPad into the case, and in the last photo you can see how that part isn't fitting fully for some reason. I'll also need to get a new screen protector because the one I have is too big for the case and I ended up cracking one of the corners because it wouldn't fit, but that's not a default in the case. Overall, it's a good case and as far as I've seen the keyboard works just fine.

Do not buy
Color: A-Navy Blue
While typing the keyboard causes my iPad to close the app I am working in or bring up the screen with all my open apps for me to close. Feels like a flimsy device that can’t handle being typed on.
