This is a rather sophisticated 50s dress made of black taffeta with decorative black satin bow and trim.  The dress is made with a bateau or “boat” neckline, raglan style 3/4 length sleeves and has a dropped waist defined by a black satin band with side bow.  It is constructed with an accented waistline and a full skirt.  The side of the skirt, below the bow, is made with the a box pleat with satin lined overflaps.  The dress closes at the back with a Lightning metal zipper and is lined beneath the bodice with black acetate.  The skirt is lined in black pellon and has a tulle support slip.  The dress, because of the full skirt, might look good with a crinoline underneath it in order to create a 50s fashion effect, although, due to the dropped waist, looks perfect as is.

Label: No label on this 50s dress, probably couturier made.  This is very well made - the use of Lightning zipper indicates that it was most likely a Canadian couturier.

Material: Lightweight knit wool over acetate and pellon.  Pellon is a non-woven paper based synthetic interfacing that was used in the 1950s to stiffen and support dress fabrics.  If you want to dry clean the dress, you may have to remove it and then replace it as dry cleaning can disintegrate it.  

Sizing: No size is indicated, but this should fit a medium size - please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust: 36” around, taken under the arms

Natural waistline:  25”-26” around

Hips:  35”-36”

Overall length: 43"

Condition: It is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, stains or odor.  This dress looks like it saw little use and was well stored over the years.

This is a wonderful 1950s era party dress - beautifully made with quality fabric in a sophisticated 50s style...sure to noticed!

Excellent value for an automatic watch, keeps VERY good time.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I've only had the watch for a day but wanted to leave a quick review on it to share a couple of notes. So far it keeps VERY good time, better than any of the automatics I own (including a Rolex Submariner, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Tag Heuer Formula One, and several other sub $1k watches). I set it to an atomic time app on my phone yesterday and 24 hours later it's still SPOT on - hasn't gained/lost even a 1/10 of a second. I was shocked to see it's kept PERFECT time for the last day, I'm really blown away so far. I've worn it the entire time, we'll see how well it keeps time while being stored in a winder. This picture shown is the watch with a 22mm leather band on it, fit's without any issues (just need to squeeze in the leather a tad). I doubt it would work with a 22mm metal bracelet, but leather works great. Just FYI since the 21mm lug width is kind of odd. The face isn't quite a lustrious as the images make it look, but it's still a great-looking watch. For a sub $1000 automatic you can't go wrong, this is a fantastic watch at a great price. It'll be my daily driver for some time I'm sure. If I have any issues in the future I'll update the review.

It looks really cool and striking.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.
