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.

GREAT CHOICE, NO FISHY TASTE, HIGH QUALITY
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Omega 3
Turned 30 and started taking for joint health and heart health. Research says these are a great choice of fish oil supplements. If you hate the fish taste of most fish oil supplements these will be a good choice for you! They taste like lemon oil, not fish.

Excellent Potency and Clean Formula, Just Slightly Large
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Omega 3
I’ve been taking fish oil for years for heart and brain health, and the NatureWise Omega-3 is a fantastic option. The 1000mg per serving with a great ratio of 600mg EPA and 400mg DHA is exactly what I look for in a therapeutic dose. I also appreciate the added Vitamin E for maximizing heart health benefits. The best feature, hands down, is the Lemon Flavor which truly works. I have experienced absolutely zero fishy burps or aftertaste, which is a common dealbreaker with other brands. For the potency and the price point (especially when bought in a larger quantity), the value is superb. Why Not Five Stars? The only minor issue is the size of the softgels. They are definitely on the larger side, which can be a bit challenging to swallow every day. If the capsule size were reduced slightly, this would easily be a five-star supplement. Highly recommend for the clean, potent formula and just a little bit of fish smell but manageable.

A staple to my daily supplements
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Omega 3
Fish oil is just soooo important to your system! This one is a “2-fer” as it comes with the Vit E. No fishy taste or burps like some brands. I notice a significant decrease in pain caused by inflammation when taking fish oil. It’s typical gel capsule of regular size. If it’s not a part of your supplement routine, I highly recommend adding it- it’s SUPER beneficial for you. Google all the benefits & you’ll realize that if you do not currently have this as part of your supplement routine, you’ll see exactly why you should add it.

This is a trusted brand with genuine products! I do recommend this and there are no “fish burps” when taking these. They are larger pills as most are but easy to swallow!

OBSESSED!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Omega 3
I have been having such a hard time with my acne flare ups and trying all these new facial routines and face washed did nothing for me. Until I had discover this and it has made my mood and acne so much better! (Very much effective) The pill size is kind of big and you do have to take 2 of them daily. But other than that the ingredients are all natural (which is what I wanted). Definitely affordable and will be purchasing again!!
