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.

Solid performance, average low-light quality
Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam
The Logitech C920x is a reliable webcam that delivers solid 1080p video quality for everyday use. Image clarity is good, colors look natural, and autofocus works well for video calls, streaming, and basic recording. Setup is straightforward and it works immediately with most conferencing and streaming software. The built-in microphones are usable for casual calls and pick up voices clearly in a quiet room. One downside is that performance in low-light conditions isn’t great. Without good lighting, the image can become grainy and lose detail, and the autofocus may hunt a bit. The microphones are also average at best and won’t replace a dedicated mic. Overall, it’s a dependable webcam that does what it’s known for, but proper lighting makes a big difference.

Surprisingly good quality for the price
Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam, Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam
I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this little webcam, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good it looks once plugged in. The video quality is clear enough for Zoom calls, online classes, or everyday use, and setup was very simple. My laptop camera quality is terrible, so this was a noticeable upgrade right away. I also like that it clips securely onto the top of the screen and doesn’t feel bulky. The picture looked smoother and brighter than I expected for a budget-friendly webcam. I love how it folds up and is very adjustable. Overall, this ended up being a great little camera for the price and works well for basic streaming, meetings, and video chats.

Logitech doesn’t disappoint!
Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam
This camera does not disappoint! I’ve been a Logitech loyalist for years so I had no hesitation ordering the C920. This model is small and seamless for setup w/an easy to use control dashboard. Lighting adjustments are stellar and the auto functionality helps any novice produce great media. The small size allows for superior grip anywhere you’re wanting to get that perfect angle. 5/5 great product!

Great Picture Quality, Easy Setup, and Works Well in Low Light
Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam
This webcam was very easy to set up and worked right away without any issues. It is simple to use and does not require anything complicated to get started. The picture quality is clear and sharp, and it looks good for video calls and recording. It also handles low light surprisingly well and does not get too grainy. It is versatile and works well for different uses like meetings, streaming, or general use. The fit on top of the monitor is secure and stays in place without slipping or needing adjustment. Overall, it is easy to use, has great picture quality, and performs well in different lighting conditions.

Great camera, lots of features, easy to setup and use
Size: 1 Pack, Style: 1080P/30 fps, 720p/30fps, Pattern: Webcam
Went from an eMeet camera to this, and I regret ever having spent money on anything other than this one. Camera looks great even with inconsistent lighting. Software features (ability to zoom in, move center of image, etc.) are extremely helpful.
