saks black dress Rare 1950s Sophie Gimbel of Saks Fifth Avenue Black Silk Ribbed Textur – Shrimpton CoutureThis wonderful little black dress is from the time period that Sophie Gimbel was designing the Saks in house ready to wear line. Her pieces were very expensive and she was known as being one of the best designers in America. Most were as close to demi couture as one could get at this time and like this one, had extraordinary little details and were extremely well made. Sophie worked at Saks from 1931 through to 1969 and the label on this one dates it

This wonderful little black dress is from the time period that Sophie Gimbel was designing the Saks in-house ready-to-wear line. Her pieces were very expensive and she was known as being one of the best designers in America. Most were as close to demi-couture as one could get at this time and like this one, had extraordinary little details and were extremely well made. Sophie worked at Saks from 1931 through to 1969 and the label on this one dates it to her work of the 1950s.

Is a wonderful 1950s dress. It's made out of a black silk that has this really interesting raised detail on it that makes it look heavily pleated or ribbed and gives the dress texture. It is cut to fit and highlight the body. It has a little cap sleeves and the neck scoops at the front. The bodice is shaped with seaming and it nips in at the waist. The waist is seamed and you could add a belt for more definition if you wanted. It curves out and over the hips and then goes straight down to the hem. I love how she has taken a vertical panel of the same fabric and run it all the way down the front and then down the side of each hip and again down the back of a skirt. This helps to give extra detailing and to really defined the shape and curves of the skirt. It is beautifully made with lots of hand finishes and a fine silk interior lining. This is the epitome of that perfectly made little black dress that can go from day to cocktails. Excellent condition with a small note below.

Fully lined in a black silk and the lining is set by hand. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and I love the care that's been put into lining up the texture of the fabric along the zipper and seams. Hand finishes throughout. A tiny bit of stress to the top seam at one shoulder and it appears to have had a small repair done on the seam at some point

Slightly inset shoulders: 14.5"

Hips: 20" flat across from side seam to side seam

Skirt: 24" from waist to hem

Not worth the money
Style: TREE
This is certainly NOT worth the money. It arrived broken and not worth fixing. Don't waste your money.

Perfect Drawer Organizers—Love the Assorted Sizes
Color: Clear
I really love these drawer organizers. The quality is great, and the assorted sizes are exactly why I decided to purchase them. I used a few inside my vanity to help keep everything more organized, and they work perfectly for separating smaller items without everything getting cluttered together. I like that there are multiple sizes included because it makes it easy to customize the layout for different drawers and products. One feature I really appreciate is the non-slip bottom. They stay in place well and don’t slide around every time I open and close my drawers, which makes a huge difference. The clear plastic design also makes it easy to quickly see where everything is without digging through the drawer making a mess. They feel sturdy and durable, not flimsy like some other organizers I’ve tried. I also like that they can be stacked when not in use, which helps save space. Best for: vanities, makeup organization, bathroom drawers, office supplies, and general home organization Overall, these are practical, well made, and really help make drawers look cleaner and more organized. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Clear, Stable, and Surprisingly Better Than IKEA
Color: Clear
I didn’t expect to be this impressed by drawer organizers, but the Vtopmart 25 PCS Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers really delivered. The non-slip silicone pads actually work — once placed, the trays don’t slide around at all, even when opening and closing drawers frequently. That alone makes a huge difference in daily use. What I love most is how much space they save while keeping everything clearly visible. The clear plastic makes it easy to find what I need at a glance, and the variety of sizes lets me customize each drawer instead of forcing everything into awkward layouts. All the organizers have a solid, usable depth, so items don’t tip over or feel cramped. Cleaning is effortless — a quick wipe and they look new again. Compared to IKEA organizers I’ve used before, these feel more practical, easier to maintain, and honestly more flexible. Add in the great price for a 25-piece set, and this feels like one of those simple purchases that quietly makes everyday life more organized and less frustrating.

nice set
Color: Clear Black
I bought this set to organize a messy desk drawer and it made a huge difference right away. Having multiple sizes in one pack is what really makes this set useful. I was able to customize the layout instead of trying to force everything into a few fixed compartments. The trays feel sturdy enough for everyday use and the clear design makes it easy to see everything at a glance. I used them for things like pens, paper clips, chargers, and random small items that usually get lost, and now everything actually has a place. They also don’t slide around much once placed, especially if the drawer is fairly full, which I appreciated. Setup took just a few minutes and instantly made the space look cleaner and more put together. If I had to note anything, the plastic is lightweight, so it is not heavy duty, but for organizing office supplies it works perfectly fine. Overall, a really practical set that helps you stay organized without overthinking it.
