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.

Identical to originals at 1/4 of the price.
This is a review on the Kawaski KRX wheel hub covers. I am very impressed. These are identical in look to the OEM Kawasaki KRX hub covers. Those cost over $28.00 for just one. This is a 4 pack for less than that price. The okastic quality is the same and these fit the machine perfectly. We got them to replace as the others break and fall off and you can not tell which one is new compared to the old ones. Overall great buy and identical to the original. Highly recommend.

Fit supper snug!
Awesome product. I lost 2 of them on my Kawasaki Teryx 1000, and these caps fit super snug. I almost didn't think they fit because they were so tight, and had to use a rubber mallet to gentle tap them on. Worth the buy!

Happy with the price and quality!
Size: Single Slat, Color: Matte Black, Size: Single Slat, Color: Matte Black
I bought this set with low expectations to replace my OEM grill which was falling apart and getting loose. I thought, not much to lose. They actually turned out to fit and look great. Just one tip-- when installing, be sure that you are correctly positioning the tension clips to be in contact with the end of the hood notch. There are a lot of Youtube guides you can find online to help you with it. Otherwise, they will just be totally loose and not fit correctly.

Easy install !! They fit well and look good

The grill is plastic of course but for the price it makes the car look good. I had a cracked grill and it looked so ugly. These popped right in easy install and makes the car look good again I am happy.
