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 Product

Just mix well - clumping only problem in iced drinks for me Love that it is tasteless , as product . I dust over hot meals and all disappears into hot food before I get to table. I’ve reordered multiple times.

Good quality
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Seems to work as expected and looks consistent in quality. The only problem I have with it, is the opening being too small for my hand when it is running low. I bought a another brand last time with the same quality and I could reach inside. I comfortably fit men's large size gloves, so my hands aren't huge. Maybe a long handle scoop would help...

No taste or texture - it completely dissolves!
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Easy way to add fiber to diet. Stir it in coffee or a non-carbonated cold drink. You can't tell it as even added because it completely dissolves.

Keeps me feeling full. Perfect addition to protein shake
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Tasteless pretty much. I’ve added to coffee, lemonade, cereal with milk, sauces, stir fry, pasta sauce, yogurt. It’s great addition to my protein drink. It helps me both keeping good on the bathroom but it helps me feel more full and snack less. It has been a secret in helping me lose weight.
