velvet empire waist dress 1930s-Style Empire Waist Column Dress With Velvet WaistbandThis vintage maxidress is done in a beautiful classic 1930s style, with a square neckline, flutter cape sleeves, and a shape that almost simulates that timeless 1930s bias cut shape, but in a more structured linen fabric.

This vintage maxidress is done in a beautiful classic 1930s style, with a square neckline, flutter cape sleeves, and a shape that almost simulates that timeless 1930s bias-cut shape, but in a more structured linen fabric. I love how the unexpected ball fringe trim on the sleeves further emphasizes their beautifully draped shape. So many thoughtful and well-executed design details went into making this dress, and its very apparent. The bodice is very fitted and shaped with darts, and at the empire waist, there is a moss green velvet waistband, which forms a bow to one side in the back— the back's asymmetry is so elegant. I can't say enough how much I love this combination of powder blue and deep moss green— it's so chic and unexpected. The powder blue color make this an excellent "Something Blue" (and "Something Old") for a bride-to-be's bridal shower or other bridal event. Horse hair in the hem to gives the skirt an amazing shape— the hem is ever-so-slightly longer in the back, giving that really full, sweeping shape. Made in the USA; no fiber contents are listed but it feels like 100% heavy linen (or linen blend).

The Rare Antique Victorian Beaded Bag and Vintage Louis Rousselet Pearl Cluster Earrings pictured are also available

Nice but not ideal sizing.
These look nice. They do not have a traditional tongue, replacing it with some sort of elastic lining. They do fit larger than expected. I purchased wide since normally need that and it creates a bump just below the laces. Also, after size 11 there are only whole size increases. I feel an 11.5 regular would have fit better. They are pretty comfortable with a cushiony insole and thick sole.

Comfy and non slip! Amazing!
Size: 9.5, Color: All Black
I work 12hrs sometimes on my feet. These shoes are amazing !!! Broke them in on a 10hr shift and they feel like walking on pillows. My feet were comfy and not throbbing. I felt the difference in the non slip in the kitchen and I’ll say it outright……. Worth the $40! I got the brown coming and I’m assuming they’ll be just as comfortable. Bruno Marc’s are great!

Slip ons worth slipping on…
Size: 9.5, Color: Black, Size: 9.5, Color: Black
Very stylish and comfortable. I love how light they are because I’m on my feet all day. The black leather is very deep and very rich. The elevated sole gives me a tad more height, too…which I like. And yes, they’re slip ons. Don’t let the laces fool you. For under $40, these shoes are a strong value to consider…

I feel I’m walking on clouds
Size: 10, Color: Brown
I’m on my feet 6–8 hours a day working at the dealership, constantly walking the lot and helping customers—and I’ve gone through a lot of shoes trying to find something that actually holds up. These Bruno Marc MaxFlex Dress Sneakers honestly surprised me. They look sharp and professional enough for work, but feel more like a comfortable athletic shoe than a stiff dress shoe. From day one, there was no break-in period, no soreness, just all-day comfort. I feel I’m walking on clouds! If you’re in a job where you’re standing or moving around a lot but still need to look polished, these are hands down the most comfortable work shoes I’ve owned.

Not as expected
Size: 11, Color: Light Brown-pu
Unfortunately I ordered mine before the last review that said these are slip-ins. I'm not understanding that sock thing. It makes it harder to put the shoe on (So opposite of a slip-in) And it pulls your sock down (pictures show them wearing one) constantly when you're walking. And apparently the shoelaces are just for looks? But they're so long you have to tie them anyway, and as someone said the laces are bad. Skinny wax. I'm going to give this three stars though because they are very comfortable. So at this point in time I don't know if I'm going to return them (I got brown) as there aren't too many sneaker dress shoes (arch support) there's dress shoes that are more comfortable (but not sneaker comfortable).
