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.

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

So Pretty
Color: B
A beautiful necklace for my beautiful daughter. She is 12 years old and starting to appreciate pretty jewelry rather than fun/colorful/kid’s jewelry; BUT - she’s 12!!! No real gold or fancy jewelry just yet! Gifts like this perfectly hit the mark right now. It looks beautiful, feels fun and trendy but more mature, has held up well to the wear and tear of a 12 year old, and is the perfect size for her at this time. She loves anything with her initial on it so she, of course, adores this necklace. She wears it several times a week. She has occasionally worn this necklace to bed on accident and it has not broken or gotten damaged in any way. All in all, I recommend this cute necklace as a beautiful gift!

Classy and Pretty Necklace Set
Color: C, Color: C
This is a very pretty necklace set. The chains are thin, delicate, and lightweight in a yellow gold color. I feel they are the same as what is pictured. I especially like the lettering of the small font, which makes it look classier than others I’ve seen of the same style. So far, they seem to be pretty durable to wear as they don’t feel like they’ll immediately break if they were to get snagged on a top. I have a smaller neck as I’m small myself (about 100lbs), and the chains fit me perfectly on the tightest clasps. They are adjustable. Some metals, such as nickel, cause me to have a slight skin reaction, but this did not. It included a small pink jewelry wipe, much like that of one for eyeglasses, which I’ve never seen before. It also had a sweet little blank note card in a tiny printed envelope inside the jewelry box to make it extra special should it be given as a gift. These were thoughtful details that gave it that little extra something for me. There were only two things I wish were a little different. The first is that they are two separate necklaces, and I’d like if they were connected as one, so you’d only have to clasp them on once. The second is that rather than the little wipe, I’d of personally preferred a little dust bag to store them, as many jewelry pieces include. However, I don’t think either of these takes away from their overall style or quality, so it did not make me deduct a star. Overall, I feel this is a lovely set to purchase for yourself, or to give as a gift to someone special. I definitely feel the value for your money is there for these necklaces.

Beautiful, Dainty Layered Set!
Color: S, Color: S
I am so impressed with this little necklace set! I was looking for something simple and elegant for daily wear, and this initial necklace set exceeded my expectations for the price. What I Loved: 1. The Packaging: It comes in a very cute, gift-ready box with a "Handmade with Love" message and a floral insert. It even includes a "Thank You" sticker, which is a really sweet touch if you're planning to give this as a gift. 2. The Design: You get two separate necklaces. One is a classic, sparkly water-wave chain, and the other is a dainty satellite chain (the one with the little beads) featuring a small, polished initial "S." 3. Versatility: Since they are two separate pieces, you can wear them together for that trendy layered look or just wear one at a time for something more subtle. 4. Quality: The gold tone is bright and has a high-end shine to it. The clasps feel secure, and they both have adjustable extenders so you can get the layering lengths just right. What I am concerned about: Polish: I liked the finish and quality but I am skeptical about the tarnishing on the necklace. This might loose with time. I guess the time will tell. The Verdict: If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized gift or just a cute new addition to your jewelry box that won't break the bank, this is it. It looks much more expensive than it actually is!

Cute and meaningful personalized necklace
Color: C, Color: C
This necklace is really sweet and delicate. I chose the letter C, and it makes the piece feel very personal and special. The layered design gives it a trendy look while still being simple and elegant. The 14K gold plating has a beautiful shine, and the necklace feels lightweight and comfortable to wear. I also like that it’s adjustable, so you can wear it as a choker or a little longer depending on the style you want. It’s a lovely little piece that works well as a gift for a child, teen, or even for yourself if you like personalized jewelry. Overall, it’s cute, meaningful, and nicely made.
