An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Would buy again
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
This is a good pillow if you like them firm and thin. I let them sit out for 2 days (per instructions). After having them a week, they've perked up and became more full. I guess they just need time after being in the air. They are softer now but your head doesn't sink thru it. They are actually nice and soft to the touch as well.

On the thin side....
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These are described as "high loft" and "supportive", but they are fairly thin/flat and very soft.

Great Support; not too Soft.
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
These are extremely comfortable pillows. I bought them for my every-night use, and they have not disappointed me. They provide great support for one’s head. They mold around one’s neck foot just turn perfect amount of support without being extremely soft. They hold their original manufactured shape easily.

Great Mattress for Everyday Use
Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 6.0 Inches, Size: Twin, Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 6.0 Inches, Size: Twin
I’ve been sleeping on this mattress for a few days now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. It has that wonderfully soft, memory foam feel that I love, but it also provides just the right amount of support to keep my body comfortable all night long. I usually sleep on my side, and sometimes on my back, and I find that it feels great in both positions—no more waking up with a sore back, which is such a relief. What really surprised me is how cool it stays during the night. I’ve used memory foam mattresses before that made me sweat, but this one has a noticeable cooling effect that actually works better than I expected. It stays comfortable all night, no matter how much I toss and turn. Plus, it absorbs movement really well, so if my partner shifts around or I move in my sleep, it doesn’t disturb me at all. Setting it up was super easy—the mattress expanded quickly after I took it out of the box. There was a small foam smell at first, but it vanished pretty fast. Overall, it’s comfortable, supportive, and feels like a great value. If you’re looking for a mattress that strikes a good balance between softness and support, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.
