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.

Sleek and comfy!
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Black
My daughter is hard on shoes and doesn't like to clean them. These paired well with her school uniform and are very durable and easy to clean and comfortable! Proud I purchased them. I was skeptical about the look at 1st,but they ended up being pretty sleek, simple, and classy for a kid! Not to blah and not too flashy. And if you know what you know about the Saucony,this was a popular throwback that still serves today! Glad they are still in business! These kids don't know what they got with these!

Love
Size: 5.5 Big Kid, Color: Black
They can be nice casual dress shoes that go with formal. They run small but fit well in my 100 year old who relatively has wider feet. I like the color that is all black. Easy to put on and nice and comfortable for daily wear.

Cute and comfy shoes!
Size: 4 Wide Big Kid, Color: Black/White
I like my new shoes!! My dad ordered these shoes for me and I love them. They are so cute and stylish. They fit well because of their wide size so my toes have enough room. They are not to heavy so I can easily run ostead of my feet being weighted down. They are very durable because i have been using them and they don't easily rip or tear. I love these shoes.
