  • Three-quarter sleeves have turned-back detail with decorative covered buttons.
  • Dress closes at the side, front, and shoulder with several snaps and a central row of hooks and eyes on the interior bodice.

Labels: Franklin & Simon Co. Fifth Avenue N.Y.

The first Franklin Simon store opened at 414 Fifth Avenue in NYC in 1903 and remained in business until 1977. The company specialized in imported European goods at domestic prices. 

Fiber/Care: unmarked, feels to be entirely silk, with a cotton inner waist ribbon

Condition:  Better than good for its age. There are several tiny holes (no shattering), a few small tears (some mended, some not). There is discoloration and weakening at the underarms. None of the flaws stand out or detract from the overall beauty of the dress. It presents as perfect. A couple of the decorative sleeve buttons and an interior hook&eye or two are missing. The sash is several inches longer than the waistband when snapped closed at the existing snaps. This was the style at the time. It can easily be tucked in at the end, as we did, to create the look shown in the first photo. There's a curious piece of black lace at the upper inner bodice. It appears to have been added later, and can easily be removed. 

*This antique 1910s dress is clean and ready to wear.*

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.

The shelves sag away from the wall overtime
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in
Although the wood quality and finish of the shelf are clean and well-made, the main issue is that the shelves begin to sag over time while holding around 10 pounds, even though the product listing claims they can support up to 20 pounds. They may perform better on a brick wall, but on drywall you should be cautious. To fix the problem, I had to purchase floating shelf brackets for support, which solved the sagging issue. However, this defeats the purpose of the “floating” aesthetic. Since the shelf is in my bedroom, I can overlook it, but I personally wouldn’t install these in a common area if I wanted a clean floating look.
