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.

Excellent USB-C hub for my MacBook Air M3
I’m very happy with the UGREEN Revodok Pro 9 in 1 USB-C Hub. The packaging is very well done and gives a great first impression right out of the box. The hub itself feels solid, robust, and well built. I have been using it for about two weeks with my MacBook Air M3, and so far, I have not had any issues. It is truly plug and play: my computer detects all connected peripherals immediately, and everything works as expected. I also tested the display on/off button, and it works correctly. My current setup is the hub connected to my MacBook Air M3 with a 22” LG monitor through HDMI, while I connect a second 29” LG widescreen monitor directly to the laptop using a Thunderbolt cable. With the MacBook lid closed and both external monitors connected, I get: * 2560 x 1080 on the 29” HDR WFHD monitor * 1920 x 1080 on the 22” Full HD monitor One important thing to keep in mind: if you want to use three screens at the same time — two external monitors plus the MacBook screen — this setup will not work because the MacBook Air M3 does not support that configuration in this way. I still need to test the SD card reader and PD charging, but based on my experience so far, this hub has worked perfectly. Overall, great build quality, easy setup, reliable performance, and a very practical accessory for my MacBook. I definitely recommend it.

Solid, stable USB-C hub that works well with both Mac and Windows machines
Great dock that works well with with Mac and Windows, and seems to be able to handle anything I can throw at it. I've had other UGREEN combo video+usb dongles that really bogged down when I used the video port, however this one did not even break a sweat when pushing out 1080p@60fps from my MacBook while handling multiple USB inputs and outputs, power delivery, and ethernet all at the same time. Definitely would consider this to be some of the best value for money around on the budget-conscious side of the USB-C hub/dock market.
