From 1939, to be exact, an exquisite evening gown in jet-black velvet with matching jacket fit for a big-screen starlet.

Dress has slim straps, attached sash, and flowing skirt. Bodice features tiny, star-shaped sequins stitched into a jaunty bow, and all the way around. We show the dress sleek and slim, with nothing beneath, but the hem sweep could easily accommodate a large crinoline. Lined at bodice. Dress closes at side with metal zipper. Sash closes at back with snaps and hook&eye at the permanent bow. Straps snap at front inner bodice, and thus are easily adjusted for a custom fit.

Jacket is full-on Hollywood glamour with grand, puffed, upper sleeves (but only small sleeve-head shoulder pads) slimming to elongated points that close with a row of covered buttons. Lots of strategic seaming for a flattering fit. Fully lined. Feels heavenly. 

Made at a boutique in West Virginia, U.S.A. Another gem from the Sherman estate. 

Labels: Mildred's
We found advertisements for Mildred's Dress Shop in Charleston, W.Va., from 1931. It was clearly a high-end boutique, as their least-expensive offerings, even deeply discounted, were more than $150 in today's money. This particular ensemble was purchased in 1939.

Fiber/Care: no tags, velvet feels like silk though may possibly be a cotton and/or rayon blend, dry-clean only

Condition: presents beautifully, but there are some glitches to note.

The dress's hem is chewed up and thinning along the bottom front. we'll let you have it hemmed to your desire length. any fabric salvaged in the process can be used for repairs and patches, as you see fit. with a black slip and the hem finished properly, the thin areas and tiny hole at left back hip would be invisible. but we recommend repairs to prolong the life of the dress. there's a spot of discoloration at the front sequins, as shown. I doubt it's permanent, but our dry-cleaner didn't manage to (or perhaps didn't try) to remove it.

The jacket has the one uncovered button, but otherwise is in excellent shape. we've retacked its lining along the neckline. no other flaws.

*We've had this gown & jacket set professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*

Poli Glow used on bottom portion of the picture
Just put it on 21 foot RV, was impressed with the shine. Key is to make sure the applicator is moist. I periodically dampen with water. Realizing it wasn't going to revive the stickers. Question is How long it will last? What will it look like after it rains? Pictures attached, bottom portion was done with poli glow on June 7,2026 and I have just under a half of bottle left. Maybe I will update once it rains or how long the shine last.

40 Years Young and Ready to Bring My RV Back to Life!
As a happy 40-year-old guy who takes a lot of pride in his RV, I’ve been on a mission to remove all the oxidation and restore that clean, glossy finish. After doing my homework, I decided to try Poli Glow Boat & RV Restoration, and I couldn’t be more excited about the results so far. I honestly can’t wait to see what it looks like once I’m completely finished. The quality of this product really stands out. It doesn’t feel like some quick temporary fix — it’s clearly made to properly restore fiberglass surfaces. The application use is straightforward, especially if you follow the prep steps carefully. Once I got into the rhythm of it, the process felt manageable and even kind of satisfying. What impressed me most was the smoothness it brought back to the surface. Areas that were dull and chalky from oxidation are starting to look deep and refreshed again. It’s doing a solid job with light scratch removal too, especially the small surface marks that naturally build up over time. I also appreciate the added layer of durability it promises. After putting in the work, I want something that’s going to last and protect the finish moving forward. And for anyone dealing with minor staining or corrosion spots, it definitely helps improve the overall look, contributing to better rust removal results around metal fixtures and trim. If you’re like me and want your RV looking proud and road-ready again, this feels like a serious step in the right direction. I’m genuinely excited to see the full transformation once I finish the entire exterior. Definitely worth the effort.

Great product, great support, looks better than new!
I couldn't possibly be more pleased with how my RV looks after Poli-Glow! I have a 2018 Rockwood 21' RV trailer that had not been treated before, so there was oxidation / fading from being in the Arizona sun - it just looked dull (the color is mostly beige). I am not usually a DIY'er. I researched options online and really appreciated the educational videos on Poli-Glow so I went with that. I don't have buffer machine or anything like that so I liked the idea of being able to do everything by hand. (Even if I had a buffing machine, I think that would have been more tiring having to climb a ladder with it and holding it over my head while applying a traditional wax - plus having to change between it and buffing cloths before wax would dry). Plus I like that this is a longer lasting treatment than a traditional wax. You will need some time - I spread my project over 4 days (day 1 - cleaning the RV and separate UV protection of the roof and awning; day 2 - Poli-Prep the whole RV; day 3 and day 4 Poli-Glow half the RV day 3 and finish day 4). Doing the Poli-Prep was easy. I mixed it in a spray bottle. I hosed down the section of the RV I was getting ready to scrub, sprayed on the Poli-Prep, scrubbed the area with the scrub brush that came with the kit, then hosed the area down and let it air dry. I only used about a third of the bottle of Poli-Prep. After the Poli-Prep the RV looked better than it did before, but that's not where the real shine comes from. I appled Poli-Glow to the RV surface, over the decals, plus all the black trim areas. The coats dried quickly so I didn't have any extra downtime between coats. When I finished a coat I walked about 30 feet to my working station in the shade, added more Poli-Glow to the mitt, and by the time I got back to the RV the previous coat was dry and ready for the next coat. Overall I worked a side of the RV from left to right; within a section I started on the bottom section up to almost as high as I could reach and used a ladder for the top half. The first coat get absorbed pretty thoroughly so the area looks only partially polished; by the 2nd - 3rd coat the shine really starts to show. Since I am in AZ, I applied the recommended 10 coats of Poli-Glow (10 coats to about a 5 to 6 foot section, then move the ladder to the next section). Overall I used 2 bottles of Poli-Glow with about a half inch left in the bottle. I did time my efforts both days to work on sections that weren't in the direct sun, making sure the area I would work on was cool or warm, not hot. Support was SUPER-FANTASTIC! I sent questions via Amazon contact seller and received very fast responses. They also sent me an email link to other videos from a detailer, so by the time I started I was confident and ready. During the project I sent pictures and they provided fast feedback that I was in fact progressing very well - very encouraging and confidence boosting. Thank you Sean! So yes, it took some time, but it was so worth it! It is shiny and beautiful and looks like new (actually better than new)! My neighbor has already asked me about it so he can do his RV. After I was done I took my victory lap - I sat in my driveway staring at it while sipping a beer, basking in the reflection of the sunset mirroring off the RV!
