* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Great chemistry and inspirational!
Format: Kindle
Injured World Cup and Olympic soccer star Sage Carson meets up with sweet Willa Bellamy, an events coordinator for the Denver Zoo, at their fifteen high school reunion. Both seemingly out of their elements they ditch it to go out for pizza at the favorite high school joint and develop a mutually satisfying plan as fake girlfriends. Sage needs to be seen with Willa to help improve her messy rebellious persona while Willa needs a date to her ex's wedding and bachelorette weekend. Not only was this story beautifully crafted with Bryce's wonderful dialogue, sense of humor and flirty interactions, but the development of the characters, including secondary, grew throughout the book. I loved the impact Willa had on Sage just by being her authentic self and I loved the belief Willa had in Sage to think beyond her career as a soccer star. They were good for each other, truly seeing each other's finest capabilities. I enjoyed the settings of the beach, soccer world and zoo, but it was their beautiful journey together that made this book so good. I highly recommend it!

What a delightful fake romance story.
Format: Kindle
Will a is nice to the point of everyone taking advantage of her. Sage is so wrapped up in herself she can't see how lost she has become. These two make a much needed contract to fake a relationship for personal connection. The characters are are funny, have an instant attraction and spend months trying to avoid feelings. Bryce Oakley gives a great no fake angst story about mutual attraction that brings friendship and an inner strength to the MC. It is so fun to read with moments that will touch your heart. I am never disappointed with this authors writing.

Goooolllaaazzzooo!
Format: Kindle
A love story starring a fictional USWNT player?! I was sold. The writing was flowed and never took me out of the story. The characters felt pretty real, which is always appreciated. The details of the soccer world made me smile. It made my heart happy to read about this fictional player finding love. Stans of couples in the USWNT and NWSL will adore Willa and Sage's cuteness. Overall, very enjoyable and would highly recommend💜

great read
Format: Kindle
This was a great read, light and airy with just enough tension and angst to keep me glued. Both mains are authentic and brazen but in completely different ways. Loved the characterization and growth of each woman. Definitely give this one a go!

The Trans Issue
Format: Paperback
I couldn't give a higher rating because of the writer pushing trans issue in sports. All for anyone in sports however, when it is man to woman the deck is stacked. Not to mention they are on hormones , which is a drug. Any questions: US had a trans win gold in track and Canada won bronze in soccer, how do you think those women felt. IMO this is just the beginning, what do they need natural born women for. It's so wrong on so many levels for women. I You tubed it and MEN are speaking up for women, why aren't we doing it for ourselves. Back to the book in question, I'm just not objective enough to say more.
