This 60s cocktail dress is all business in the front and party in the back! Designed by Luis Estevez, a designer who was well known and loved among the Hollywood crowd in the 50s and 60s, it's a classic wiggle dress that features one of his signature details - a deep V back neckline. The front bodice has three tucks on each side of the bust, a high neckline, and is seamed to a wide satin waistband. The skirt mirrors those tucks and falls into a pencil silhouette. The sleeves are cut in one with the dress and are 3/4 length. The waist panel features a large buckle detail that closes over with hooks and eyes, and covers the metal zipper.

Luis Estevez had a glamorous career and life. He moved to New York City after studying architecture in his home country, and went on to study costume design at the Traphagan School of Fashion. After graduating, he travelled to Paris in 1951, where he interned for Jean Patou and befriended Hubert de Givenchy and Jacques Fath, as well as the French Vogue editor Francoise de Langlade. He returned to New York in 1952 and joined ready-to-wear company Pat Hartley. In 1955 he launched his own label Grenelle-Estevez, and one year later at the age of 26 he became the youngest designer to win the Coty Award. He designed a black dress based on the Portrait of Madame X which was featured in Life Magazine in 1960 and remains an iconic dress from his career.

He moved to Hollywood in 1965 and went on to design for high society socialites and actresses like Marlene Dietrich, Betty Ford, Grace Kelly, Natalie Wood, Nancy Reagan and Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor. He was also designing costumes for Universal Studios, and in 1975 he met with Betty Ford and began designing a personal line of clothing for her which she wore throughout her time as First Lady.

His dresses are collectable and so beautifully crafted, to be treasured for many years to come as your own little slice of fashion history!

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle. The "Just Step-In" Reality Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch. Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day. The Sizing Gamble Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes. The Breakdown The Pros: True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed. Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal. Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer. Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear. The Cons: Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit. Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness. Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale. Value for Money Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
