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.

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.

if you are going to be moving them a lot, buy something more sturdy.
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
I use these at our churchc. They are pretty good, not terribly study and the screw that hold the faabric have pulled out in a couple of places. But they wqould work especially well if you were not constantly moving them as we do. They are a bit of a pain to assemble.
