vintage glitter dress c.1967 Gene Shelly Blue Crystal & Silver Sequin Stretch Knit Dress – Shrimpton CoutureIn its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded. After that was done the fabric would be sent back to California where the dresses were

In its heyday the Gene Shelly of California label was highly sought after. The label was doing some of the best of the early sequinned vintage pieces that you could find anywhere on the planet. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong on American manufactured knit. The company would send the fabric to be hand sequinned and beaded. After that was done the fabric would be sent back to California where the dresses were made. At the time, Hong Kong was doing the best sequin and bead work in the world outside of the specialty ateliers in Paris. Additionally, this dress is extra special as it is the same dress that was worn by Diana Ross and the Supremes for their 1967 appearance on The Hollywood Palace.

All of Gene Shelly's dresses start with the labels signature stretch knit fabric, this one is a beautiful pale baby blue that perfectly sets off the silver. Onto this are thousands and thousands of tightly spaced sequins. Each sequin has been meticulously applied by hand into its set place. Every inch of the fabric is covered with sequins and the dress glimmers in even the lowest of light. Set in among the silver sequins are big faceted blue paste crystals. These circle the neckline and upper shoulders like a built in piece of jewellery. Each crystal has been is hand sewn into place and they are large enough that they each have a 3D effect. Tiny blue glass seed beads outline the larger ones. More of these circle the ends of each sleeve and I love how the sleeves widen out. A slit up one side of the skirt is the perfect, final finish. The dimension and texture created from the result of all of this hand work is wonderful. The dress itself is immensely flattering with its figure hugging shape. The knit base makes it very comfortable to wear as it conforms to your curves. The knit is set on the bias so it shapes and molds to your figure once on.  Excellent condition.

The base is a baby blue stretch knit and the dress closes with a painted metal zipper at the back. The sequins are all applied by hand and I see no bare spots. The measurements are taken flat and shows the comfortable range of each spot. The stretch will allow for a variety of sizes and the dress will fall to approx mid-calf on most

Perfect For My Kitchen
Color: External Adjustment Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I just love this set and its features especially the adjustability of the release of salt and pepper. You don’t have to turn a knob under the bottom where the salt and pepper comes out. Its appearance is sleek and matches well with my kitchen decor.

One month, and both died. Just stopped working.
Color: External Adjustment Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I bought these one month ago and one of them stopped working, almost like it died, but even when on the charger for a long time, it still wouldn’t work. Just died. Then today, the other one broke just the same way. Like the motor completely died no matter how long it’s on the charger. Highly recommend looking in a different direction for electric salt and pepper grinders.

Love these!
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Bought these for my mother in law who has some slight mobility issues so turning a salt/pepper grinder wasn’t easy for her anymore! These are so easy to use you literally just click a button. I also love that the battery is rechargeable so you don’t need to buy any extra batteries or replace them. It’s very sleek and modern looking and easy to clean. You can also adjust the size of the grinds to your liking. Definitely worth getting and great quality!
