An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Comfort – Like Sleeping in a Luxury Hotel Every Night!
I am beyond impressed with the DIORIS Pillows Queen Size Set of 2! From the moment I laid my head on them, I knew I had found my new favorite pillows. They strike the perfect balance between soft and supportive, making them ideal for back, stomach, and side sleepers like me and my partner. The fluffy down alternative fill feels just like the real thing—plush, breathable, and incredibly comfortable without triggering my allergies. These pillows don’t flatten out overnight either; they maintain their shape and bounce back beautifully each morning. What really stood out to me was the hotel-quality feel. The outer fabric is smooth, skin-friendly, and breathable, helping me stay cool and sweat-free throughout the night. I wake up feeling refreshed, well-rested, and with no neck pain—which is a huge win! If you're looking for affordable luxury, I highly recommend these DIORIS pillows. They’ve completely upgraded my sleep experience, and I’ll definitely be buying another set for the guest bedroom!

Helps you get a good night's rest
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are my favorite pillows. I've had so much neck pain and headaches in the morning. This all stopped once I started using them. They hold up their shape and seem like they are good quality. My husband kept trying to steal my pillow, so I had to order him his own. You won't be disappointed in these pillows, and you'll get much better sleep.

Very soft!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I like the softness of these pillows. They are too bulky for me but my husband loves his. I’ve been using a flat pillow for too long. I may just need to adjust to it.

BUY THEM NOW!! the search is OVER! 🥳
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2, Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
pillow whore here 🤭 and I very rarely find anything worth writing a 5 star review for but let me just save you the time of searching anymore for the PERFECT pillow!!! BUY THEM! 😍 I promise you will NOT be disappointed!! I have spend thousands on pillows over the years, trying to find the perfect pillows... As someone who suffers from debilitating chronic pain and who has had multiple neck and back surgeries I'm very particular about pillows & have such a hard time finding one's that are comfortable, not too hard, not too soft but also offer great support. I FINALLY found them 🥹 and my hubby is Italian and stays hot but gets even hotter when he sleeps so finding an authentic cooling pillow has seemed impossible UNTIL now!! Just wow!! Now Im adding more to my cart while they are still 70% off 🥳🤩
